Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000271.5(NPC1):​c.3614C>G​(p.Thr1205Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,838 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T1205K) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000271.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr18-23533495-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 188747.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
• PP5: Variant 18-23533495-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23533495-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 505018.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Thr1205Arg variant in NPC1 has been previously reported in three individua ls with Niemann-Pick disease type C (Yamamoto 2000, Park 2003, Jahnova 2014). At least 2 of these individuals carried the variant in a compound heterozygous sta te (Yamamoto 2000, Jahnova 2014). This variant was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that t he p.Thr1205Arg variant may impact the protein, though this information is not p redictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional stu dies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Thr1205Arg variant is likely pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Thr1205 amino acid residue in NPC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in affected individuals (PMID: 15130691, 22676771, 12955717, 23430855, 11182931, 25236789), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Type C (PMID: 11182931, 22676771, 25236789). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 505018). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine with arginine at codon 1205 of the NPC1 protein (p.Thr1205Arg). The threonine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and arginine. -
