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_pathogenic. Variant got 9 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, 5 uncertain in NM_000271.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
• PP5: Variant 18-23535665-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23535665-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 547997.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 Pathogenic:2 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Natera, Inc.	Sep 16, 2020	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Mayo Clinic	Aug 11, 2017	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Mar 24, 2023	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. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 547997). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 12408188, 23433426, 27139891). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1094 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ile1094Thr). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Nov 11, 2021	NM_000271.4(NPC1):c.3281T>C(I1094T) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of Niemann-Pick disease type C1. I1094T has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 27139891, 23433426, 12955717, 12408188). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. I1094T has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: SAS 0.003%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000271.4(NPC1):c.3281T>C(I1094T) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

The NPC1 c.3281T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile1094Thr. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with another NPC1 variant in two sets of siblings affected with Niemann-Pick disease type C (Family 3 in Kaminski et al 2002. PubMed ID: 12408188; Pts 020 and 021 in Stampfer et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23433426). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
