Familial Hypercholesterolemia VCEP

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1359-5C>G variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PP1_moderate, PM2, PP4, PS3_supporting, PS4_supporting) 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: PP1_moderate: Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 4 informative meioses in 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00001766 (0.001766%) in European (non-Finnish) population exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP3: No REVEL, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) variant located at -20 to +3 bases from canonical acceptor splice site, MES scores: canonical site variant = 4.09; canonical acceptor wt = 6.76. Ratio variant/wt canonical acceptor: 4.09/6.76 = 0.605 ---- It is below 0.8 Variant is predicted to alter splicing. PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 3 index cases (1 index from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge who meets the Simon Broome Possible criteria; 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 19411563, and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 30876530), after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded PS3_supporting: Level 3 assay: PMID 19411563: Heterozygous patients' lymphocytes, RNA assays - result - Retention of intron 9 (p.Ser453Argfs*2) ---- functional study is consistent with damaging effect. PS4_supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 index cases (1 index from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge who meets the Simon Broome Possible criteria; 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 19411563, and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 30876530).

PS3_Supporting

Level 3 assay: PMID 19411563: Heterozygous patients' lymphocytes, RNA assays - result - Retention of intron 9 (p.Ser453Argfs*2) ---- functional study is consistent with damaging effect.

PP1_Moderate

Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 4 informative meioses in 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge

PP4

Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 3 index cases (1 index from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge who meets the Simon Broome Possible criteria; 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 19411563, and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 30876530), after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded

PM2

PopMax MAF = 0.00001766 (0.001766%) in European (non-Finnish) population exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1).

PS4_Supporting

Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 index cases (1 index from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge who meets the Simon Broome Possible criteria; 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 19411563, and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH in PMID: 30876530).

BS4

Lack of segregation from 1 family in data from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, with 2 informative meioses. In PMID: 19411563, 1 non-segregation (informative meiosis) in 1 family, so did not count this family. For BS4 to apply, data must be available on larger than 2 informative meiosis in each family. So BS4 not MET.

PP3

PP3 not MET when functional data available.
