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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1059*) 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 16098014, 26666848). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188769). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: NPC1 c.3175C>T (p.Arg1059X) results in a premature termination codon. This variant has been shown to result in nonsense-mediated decay in patient fibroblasts (Macias-Vidal_2009). Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251422 control chromosomes. c.3175C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Fernandez-Valero_2005, Imrie_2015). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
