Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000271.5(NPC1):​c.1819C>T​(p.Arg607*) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000124 in 1,612,268 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000696415: The variant is absent from in the large control population dataset of ExAC (121384 chrs tested). The variant has been identified in compound heterozygosity with known pathogenic alleles in several affected individuals presented with the classical biochemical phenotype NPC-1 characterized by massive lysosomal/ LE accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in cultured fibroblasts. Zampieri, 2013.". Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R607R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000696415: The variant is absent from in the large control population dataset of ExAC (121384 chrs tested). The variant has been identified in compound heterozygosity with known pathogenic alleles in several affected individuals presented with the classical biochemical phenotype NPC-1 characterized by massive lysosomal/ LE accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in cultured fibroblasts. Zampieri, 2013.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 18-23545088-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23545088-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 265495.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
