Description
This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 168 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp168His). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 8462973). This variant disrupts the p.Asp168 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9259195, 9678702, 12124988, 15556094, 16205024, 19007590). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251258). This variant is also known as p.D147H and FH-Sephardic. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8462973, 16250003, 20828696, 28104544). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals.
