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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 05, 2023This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 664 of the NPC1 protein (p.Val664Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs376213990, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 20718790, 25236789, 26937389, 28222799). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370601). 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. -
Niemann-Pick disease, type C Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 17, 2022Variant summary: NPC1 c.1990G>A (p.Val664Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Sterol-sensing domain (IPR000731) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251294 control chromosomes. c.1990G>A has been reported in the literature as a biallelic compound heterozygous genotyppe in multiple individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (example, Macias-Vidal_2011, Takamura_2013, Greenberg_2015, Reunert_2016, Guan_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
