ClinGen expert panel — Familial Hypercholesterolemia VCEP
Uncertain Significance for hypercholesterolemia, familial. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2 PP3 PP4
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1845G>A (p.Glu615=) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM2, PP3, and PP4 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: The only >10,000 subpopulation is European (Non-Finnish), in which the variant is absent. So PM2 is met. PP3: No REVEL, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) variant located -3 to +6 from canonical donor site MES scores: canonical site variant = -1.8; canonical donor wt = 4.48. Ratio: -1.8/4.48 = -0.4 ---- It is below 0.8. Variant is predicted to alter splicing. So PP3 is met. PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 1 case fulfilling Simon-Broome criteria for possible FH published in PMID: 17539906 (Taylor et al., 2007). So PP4 is met.

Population frequency
Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
