Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV001180627 SCV001345593 likely pathogenic Familial hypercholesterolemia 2021-03-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant (also known as p.Cys6Arg in the mature protein) replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 27 in the LDLR type A repeat 1 of the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Although functional studies have not been reported in the literature, this variant changes one of the functionally critical cysteine residues that form intra-repeat disulfide bonds in the ligand binding domain (PMID: 15952897) and is expected to have deleterious impact on the LDLR protein folding and stability. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (Color internal data). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant occurring at the same amino acid position (p.Cys27Trp) is known to be disease-causing (Clinvar variation ID 226304), indicating the importance of cysteine at this position in LDLR protein function. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
