Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 565 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly565Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 2901412, 12436241, 23375686). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 377,766 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3688). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 2901412, 16740646). This variant disrupts the p.Gly565 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 11313767, 27784735), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
