Genes affected
SMPD1 (HGNC:11120): (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly29Aspfs*48) in the SMPD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SMPD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12369017, 15221801). This variant is present in population databases (rs750157176, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Neimann-Pick disease (PMID: 12556236, 23252888). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551367). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: SMPD1 c.84delC (p.Gly29AspfsX48) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 244564 control chromosomes. c.84delC has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type A (Sikora_2003, Irun_2013, Ordieres-Ortega_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
