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]

Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 05, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1274 of the NPC1 protein (p.Arg1274Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs544089597, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of NPC1-related conditions (PMID: 28222799). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181460). 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 not expected to disrupt NPC1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
