Description

The c.68-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 2 of the LDLR gene, and is located in the region of the ligand binding 1 domain. This variant has been reported in a homozygous Japanese female from consanguineous parents, who had hypercholesterolemia and tendon xanthomas, as well as in an Italian family with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and in a Japanese female with hypercholesterolemia who also harbored a PCSK9 variant (Maruyama T et al. Hum. Mutat., 1998;11:480-1; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8; Ohta N et al. J Clin Lipidol 2016 Jan;10:547-555.e5). Limited functional studies in fibroblasts from the homozygous individual reportedly showed no LDLR protein was produced, while RNA studies suggested use of a downstream cryptic acceptor site caused a frameshift leading to a premature stop codon (Maruyama T et al. Hum. Mutat., 1998;11:480-1). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
