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]

Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 31, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1187 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ala1187Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs762517273, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NPC1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 499348). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.Ala1187 amino acid residue in NPC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26981555). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
