Genes affected

SMPD1 (HGNC:11120): (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-6391593-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-6391593-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 552566.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: SMPD1 c.528G>A (p.Trp176X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 239480 control chromosomes. c.528G>A has been reported in the literature in at-least one report of individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type B, although the exact patient count and the genotype/zygosity for this variant is not specified (example, Simonaro_2002). It has also been subsequently cited by others (example Zampieri_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp176*) in the SMPD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SMPD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12369017, 15221801). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type B (PMID: 12369017). This variant is also known as W174X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552566). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
