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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. This variant was predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (PMID: 19252935 / 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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: 371187). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C disease (PMID: 19252935, 23142039). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe284Leufs*26) 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). -

Variant summary: NPC1 c.852delT (p.Phe284LeufsX26) 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 was absent in 250484 control chromosomes. c.852delT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (example, Fancello_2009, Rodrguez-Pascau_2012). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
