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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_000271.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.987
• PP5: Variant 18-23536814-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23536814-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2972.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr18-23536814-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Jul 01, 2001	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 09, 2023	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1035 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ala1035Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs28942107, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 11479732, 16098014, 23183285; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2972). 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. -
