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 was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.75).
BP6
Variant 18-23533392-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-23533392-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 282371.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.388 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.00031 (453/1461762) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.00364 (21/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00244. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 267 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 3 AR gene
