Niemann-Pick disease, type A;C0268243:Niemann-Pick disease, type B    Pathogenic:2 
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe368Valfs*23) in the SMPD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SMPD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12369017, 15221801). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease (PMID: 23356216, 27338287). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553487). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
A single base pair insertion in exon 3 of the SMPD1 gene that results in a frameshift and premature truncation of the protein 23 amino acids downstream to codon 368 was detected The observed variant c.1101dup (p.Phe368ValfsTer23) has not been reported in the 1000 genomes and ExAC databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is damaging by MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
