Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 373 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly373Asp). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9974426, 11810272, 11933210, 15241806, 21382890, 23375686, 25461735). This variant is also known as p.Gly352Asp. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251673). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Gly373 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 16159606, 20145306), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
