Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000543.5(SMPD1):​c.1730A>T​(p.His577Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,888 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H577R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

SMPD1 (HGNC:11120): (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000543.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-6394441-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 550112.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.803
• PP5: Variant 11-6394441-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-6394441-A-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3759148.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 577 of the SMPD1 protein (p.His577Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease (PMID: 12712061). This variant is also known as H576L. 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 SMPD1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.His577 amino acid residue in SMPD1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20386867, 34273913). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
