The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.257_265del (p.Phe86_Arg88del) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code PM2, PM4, BP4 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 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). PM4 - Variant meets PM2 and is in frame deletion. BP4 - No REVEL, splicing is needed: A - not on limits. B - not on limits C - There are 2 AG sites nearby: 1- Wild type canonical acceptor: CAATCCTGTCTCTTCTGTAGTGT: 7.07 Wild type cryptic acceptor: CAACCGCTGCATTCCTCAGTTCT: -15.64 Variant cryptic acceptor: CAACCGCTGCATTCCTCAGTGCG: -13.6 cryptic sites have negative scores, so they are not used 2- > Wild type canonical acceptor: CAATCCTGTCTCTTCTGTAGTGT: 7.07 Wild type cryptic acceptor: CTGGAGGTGCGATGGCCAAGTGG: -7.59 Variant cryptic acceptor: TCCTCAGTGCGATGGCCAAGTGG: -4.74 cryptic sites have negative scores, so they are not used There is a GT site nearby: Wild type canonical acceptor: GTCGTAAGT: 9.9 Wild type cryptic acceptor: CAGTTCTGG: -3.44 Variant cryptic acceptor: CAGTGCGAT: -14.44 cryptic sites have negative scores, so they are not used The variant does not affect splicing, so BP4 is met.. PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in one index case from PMID 11462246.
