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]

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1087 of the NPC1 protein (p.Phe1087Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick type C disease (PMID: 25349751, 26666848). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555143). 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: 16138904). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: NPC1 c.3259T>C (p.Phe1087Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251106 control chromosomes (gnomAD v2 Exomes dataset). c.3259T>C has been reported in the literature in several compound heterozygous individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (e.g., Park_2003, Pina-Aguilar_2014, Imrie_2015, Rodriguez-Gil_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant was unable to revert edelfosine resistance and Western blotting revealed a severe defect in protein expression in a yeast model (Berger_2005); cholesterol accumulation was also increased approximately 10-fold in another in vitro model relative to wildtype (Qian_2020). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16138904, 26666848, 12955717, 25349751, 34296265, 32544384). Two submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
