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]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 950 of the NPC1 protein (p.Val950Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs120074135, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 11333381, 17003072, 26984608, 27900365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2971). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on NPC1 protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on NPC1 function (PMID: 28193631, 30923329, 31699992). This variant disrupts the p.Val950 amino acid residue in NPC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25236789, 26981555). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Reported previously in association with Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC) (Millat et al., 2001; Millat et al., 2005; Sevin et al. 2007; Garver et al. 2010). Two patients with NPC who were apparently homozygous for the V950M variant had adult onset of neurological symptoms (Millat et al., 2001; Sevin et al. 2007); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15465421, 26666848, 19744920, 16126423, 26984608, 11333381, 17003072, 27900365) -

The NPC1 c.2848G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val950Met. This patient is heterozygous in the NPC1 gene for a sequence variant defined as c.2848G>A, which is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val950Met. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with adult onset Niemann-Pick disease type C (Patient 22, Millat et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11333381; Sévin et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17003072; Dougherty et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27900365; Sedel et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26984608). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
