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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 945 of the NPC1 protein (p.Asp945Asn). 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 biochemical features of Niemann-Pick Type C (PMID: 12955717, 19744920; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 539312). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NPC1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: NPC1 c.2833G>A (p.Asp945Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in 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 250474 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2833G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C and was reported to cause 'severe' biochemical phenotype (Park_2003, Garver_2010, Ribas_2016, Lopez de Frutos_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, demonstrated the variant to cause a reduction in total protein expression and result in protein of distinct molecular weights, one equivalent to the wild type and the other equivalent to that found in lower-molecular-weight mutants. Furthermore, the variant showed defective cholesterol trafficking. Taken together, the authors concluded the variant to be pathogenic (Erwood_2019). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
