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
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 434 of the NPC1 protein (p.Pro434Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs774333145, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 16098014, 26981555, 36325261). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429322). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 16, 2015The P434L variant has been reported previously in an individual with a biochemical diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) who also carried another missense variant in the NPC1 gene, although phase was not determined and functional studies were not performed (Fernandez-Valero et al., 2005). The P434L variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. A missense variant in a nearby residue (P433L) has been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with NPC (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, the P434L variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. -
