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 falls in intron 9 of the NPC1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NPC1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with biochemical and clinical features of Niemann-Pick type C disease (PMID: 20718790, 23593294, 25425405, 28480683, 29453517). This variant is also known as IVS9‚Äì1009G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553804). Studies have shown that this variant results in inclusion of a pseudoexon and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 19718781, 28167839). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NPC1 c.1554-1009G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant occurs within a deep intronic region and has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (Rodríguez-Pascau et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19718781; Patients SEQ1 and 2 in Hastings et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31639011; Zeiger et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29453517). A functional study has shown that the c.1554-1009G>A variant promotes a pseudoexon insertion and interferes with normal splicing (Rodríguez-Pascau et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19718781). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. In ClinVar, this variant has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple laboratories (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/553804/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
