ClinGen expert panel — Familial Hypercholesterolemia VCEP
Uncertain Significance for hypercholesterolemia, familial. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2 PP3
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1441G>A (p.Val481Met) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2 and PP3 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on February 28, 2025. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.0000008475 (0.00008475%) in European (non-Finnish) exomes + genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0). PP3: REVEL = 0.83.

Computational evidence
| Protein change | ||
| AlphaMissense | 0.3683 | ambiguous |
|---|---|---|
| REVEL | 0.83 | moderately pathogenic-leaning |
| SaProt | LLR -11.29 | damaging |
| ⇒ REVEL and SaProt both call this damaging; AlphaMissense is indeterminate. | ||
| Splicing | ||
| SpliceAI | <0.2 | no splice effect predicted · four deltas, not one · how we know |
| Constraint at this position | ||
| Conservation | phyloP 9.7 | GERP 1.4, phastCons 1 |
| Regional constraint | o/e 1.00 | unconstrained · MANE · 42 kb · p 0.91 · regional, not allelic |
| Overall | ||
| CADD | 26.0 | PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree |
AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
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.
