ClinGen expert panel — Familial Hypercholesterolemia VCEP

Likely Pathogenic for hypercholesterolemia, familial. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):

PM2 PM5_Strong PP3

Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1784G>T (p.Arg595Leu) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PP3, PM5_strong) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is Met. PP3 - REVEL = 0.959. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met. PM5_strong - 2 other missense variants in the same codon: - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1783C>T (p.Arg595Trp) (ClinVar ID: 161290) - Pathogenic by these guidelines - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1784G>A (p.Arg595Gln) (ClinVar ID: 183126) - Pathogenic by these guidelines There are 2 variants in the same codon classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines, so PM5_Strong is Met.
