Genes affected

NPC1 (HGNC:7897): (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1) This gene encodes a large protein that resides in the limiting membrane of endosomes and lysosomes and mediates intracellular cholesterol trafficking via binding of cholesterol to its N-terminal domain. It is predicted to have a cytoplasmic C-terminus, 13 transmembrane domains, and 3 large loops in the lumen of the endosome - the last loop being at the N-terminus. This protein transports low-density lipoproteins to late endosomal/lysosomal compartments where they are hydrolized and released as free cholesterol. Defects in this gene cause Niemann-Pick type C disease, a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by over accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in late endosomal/lysosomal compartments.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 23 of the NPC1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NPC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9211850). This variant is present in population databases (rs786200877, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 11479732, 31296176). This variant is also known as IVS23+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2973). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters NPC1 gene expression (PMID: 11479732). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: NPC1 c.3591+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing resulting in an unstable protein from two possible transcripts (Ribeiro_2001). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 249950 control chromosomes. c.3591+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Ribeiro_2001, Park_2003, Stampfer_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
