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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

PM1
In a topological_domain Lumenal (size 248) in uniprot entity NPC1_HUMAN there are 30 pathogenic changes around while only 10 benign (75%) in NM_000271.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.03271857).
BP6
Variant 18-23551720-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-23551720-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 500953.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=5}.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000725 (106/1461490) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00239 (80/33470). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00197. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 47 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 30. This position pass quality control queck.
