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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.029710712 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV001586104: Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 11479732).; SCV001362186: The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 249950 control chromosomes. c.3591+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Ribeiro_2001, Park_2003, Stampfer_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Ribeiro_2001 However, based on the instructions provided, the correct output should be: no
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 18-23534445-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23534445-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2973.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
