Genes affected

SMPD1 (HGNC:11120): (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Collection Method: curation

The p.Gly244Ter variant in SMPD1 (also known as p.Gly242Ter due to a difference in cDNA numbering) has been reported in 1 individual with Niemann-Pick disease (PMID: 29966168) and was absent from large population studies and no high quality genotypes at this site were noted to include this variant. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 370798) as likely pathogenic by Counsyl. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 244, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the SMPD1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Niemann-Pick disease. The phenotype of an individual compound heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for Niemann-Pick disease based on acid sphingomyelinase activity being <10% of normal, consistent with disease (PMID: 29966168). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Niemann-Pick disease in an autosomal recessive manner based on the prediction it causes loss of function, its absence in the general population, and the phenotype of an individual with the variant being highly specific for the disease. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP4 (Richards 2015). -
