Description

The c.2312-3C>A intronic variant results from a C to A substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 16 in the LDLR gene. This alteration has been detected in numerous individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and segregation with disease has been reported in multiple families (Liguori R et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001 May;17:433; García-García AB et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001 Nov;18:458-9; Pisciotta L et al. Atherosclerosis, 2005 Sep;182:153-9; Miyake Y et al. Atherosclerosis, 2009 Mar;203:153-60; Rubba P et al. Eur J Prev Cardiol, 2017 Jul;24:1051-1059). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice acceptor site. Functional studies have demonstrated skipping of exon 16, with the in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids, and reduced LDLR activity to approximately 50% of wild-type (Romano M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2010 Jun;210:493-6). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
