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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteOct 19, 2020Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Niemann-Pick disease (MIM#257220). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from threonine to methionine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (8 heterozygotes, 0 homozygote). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2.1.1) (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants within the Lumen cystein rich domain (PMID: 16126423, PMID: 32138288). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals with Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (ClinVar, PMID:9211849, PMID:19744920, PMID:22676771, PMID:26666848, PMID:28222799).

(I) 0703 - Other missense variants (p.(Thr1036Lys); p.(Thr1036Ala)) comparable to the one identified in this case have moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity (PMID:16098014, PMID:32138288).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1036 of the NPC1 protein (p.Thr1036Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs28942104, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick Type C disease (PMID: 9211849, 12955717, 17160617, 26666848, 28222799; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2958). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NPC1 function (PMID: 23593294). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Niemann-Pick disease, type C Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 04, 2017Variant summary: The NPC1 c.3107C>T (p.Thr1036Met) variant involves the alteration of a highly conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools used predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 8/277208 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000029, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic NPC1 variant (0.0028). The variant was identified in multiple affected individuals homozygously or in compound heterozygosity with clinically and biochemically confirmed Niemann-Pick C1 disease and is classified as Pathogenic by multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases. Taken together, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
