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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-23536689-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23536689-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 289257.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr18-23536689-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289257). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 27256227). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1077*) in the NPC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NPC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9211850). -
