RCV001992079 | SCV002282296 | uncertain significance | Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 4 | 2021-07-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the LDLRAP1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLRAP1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDLRAP1-related conditions. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
