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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-23539373-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23539373-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 188956.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 03, 2023	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188956). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C (PMID: 12955717). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln965*) 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
