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 Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP6: Variant 18-23543572-TAAA-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-23543572-TAAA-T is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 282052.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr18-23543572-TAAA-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00632 (6634/1049272) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.0166 (387/23304). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0152. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 3235 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
