Description
This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 792 of the LDLR protein (p.Ile792Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs764493597, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18096825, 19446849, 23375686, 34456049, 35913489). 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 benign with a negative predictive value of at least 95%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252295). 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%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
