ClinGen expert panel — Familial Hypercholesterolemia VCEP
Likely Pathogenic for hypercholesterolemia, familial. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2 PM5_Strong PP3 PP4
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.269A>C (p.Asp90Ala) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM5_Strong, PM2, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM5_Strong - 4 other missense variants is the same codon: - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.268G>A (p.Asp90Asn) - Pathogenic by these guidelines - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.268G>T (p.Asp90Tyr) - classified as Likely pathogenic by the FH VCEP, with these guidelines - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.269A>G (p.Asp90Gly) - Pathogenic by these guidelines - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.270T>A (p.Asp90Glu) - Pathogenic by these guidelines There are 3 variants classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines, so PM5_Strong is met. PM2 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is met. PP3 - REVEL = 0.964. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is met PP4 - Variant meets PM2, and was identified in 1 index case with SB criteria for FH (The clinical diagnosis of hoFH was confirmed on the basis of total cholesterol >500 mg/dl at the time of diagnosis, the presence of xanthomas at an early age, and the presence of primary hypercholesterolemia in the probands’ parents or other first degree relatives. This case had total cholesterol 840mg/dl at 3 years of age) from PMID 19026292 (Kolansky et al., 2008), USA so PP4 is met

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
Population frequency
Absent from gnomAD v4.1. Not observed in any sequenced alleles — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.
