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 replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 734 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ser734Ile). 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 missense change has been observed in individual(s) with NPC1-related conditions (PMID: 12955717, 20718790, 23433426, 26666848). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372775). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NPC1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The S734I variant in the NPC1 gene has been reported previously in association with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, in affected individuals when present in the homozygous state or when heterozygous with another variant (Park et al., 2003; Macias-Vidal et al., 2014; Imrie et al., 2015). Functional studies showed no difference in protein expression when compared to wild type, suggesting the S734I variant has no effect on folding or degradation but could directly affect protein functionality (Macias-Vidal et al., 2014). The S734I variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The S734I variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Serine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (G729E, P733R) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The S734I variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -

Variant summary: NPC1 c.2201G>T (p.Ser734Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Sterol-sensing domain (IPR000731) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-05 in 251276 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in NPC1 causing Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (8.4e-05 vs 0.0027), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2201G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (examples: Macias-Vidal_2011, Stampfer_2013, Imrie_2015, Rodriguez-Gil_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20718790, 34296265, 26666848, 23433426). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
