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 valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1212 of the NPC1 protein (p.Val1212Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs753419933, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 15774455, 22326530, 22476655, 24915861). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 558706). 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%. 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.3634G>T (p.Val1212Leu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251468 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3634G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (examples: Yang_2005, Xiong_2012, and Zhang_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
