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]

S940L has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 26981555, 11349231, 25425405, 21245028, 16126423, 23146215, 16720792, 30285904, 26790753). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. S940L has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AFR 0.01%). In summary, NM_000271.4(NPC1):c.2819C>T(S940L) is a missense variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 940 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ser940Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs143124972, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 26790753, 28105569, 28710748, 32138288). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188716). 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 29, 2017Variant summary: The NPC1 c.2819C>T (p.Ser940Leu) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 3/244918 control chromosomes (gnomAD) at a frequency of 0.0000122, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic NPC1 variant (0.0027735). Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected homozygote and compound heterozygote individuals. In addition, a clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as likely pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
