Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE Paradoxically, under metabolic stress, homozygosity for apoE2 may result in dysbetalipoproteinaemia in adults owing to impaired binding of remnant lipoproteins to the LDL receptor and related proteins as well as heparan sulphate proteoglycans. 30598326 2019
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE ApoE2 which differs from apoE3 by the single amino acid substitution Arg158Cys located near the LDLR recognition site exhibits impaired binding to the receptor and an inability to promote clearance of TG-rich lipoprotein remnant particles; this isoform is associated with Type-III hyperlipoproteinemia. 25328986 2014
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE Mutations in the 136-150 region of the N-terminal domain of apoE, reduce its low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor binding capacity and have been linked with lipoprotein disorders, such as type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) in humans. 22069485 2011
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE Structure/function studies revealed that apoE2 is severely defective in LDL receptor binding because of a structural difference that alters the receptor binding region and helped unravel the mechanism of type III hyperlipoproteinemia. 19106071 2009
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE Apolipoprotein E2, which has an R158 for C substitution, has reduced affinity for the LDL receptor and is associated with type III hyperlipoproteinemia in humans. 12924933 2003
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Apolipoprotein E2/E2 genotype in combination with mutations in the LDL receptor gene causes type III hyperlipoproteinemia. 12113291 2002
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Reduced expression of the LDLR is believed to be a precipitating factor in the pathogenesis of type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) in some humans homozygous for the apoE2 allele (APOE*2). 11076954 2001
Entrez Id: 3949
Gene Symbol: LDLR
LDLR
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE The common variant apoE2 and more than half a dozen rare variants are defective in binding to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, and all are causally associated with the lipid disorder type III hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP). 1619388 1992
