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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCounsylJan 05, 2018- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 03, 2022This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 3 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ala3Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs752896980, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick Type C (PMID: 32931663). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555997). 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. -
