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 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Lumenal (size 243) in uniprot entity NPC1_HUMAN there are 84 pathogenic changes around while only 9 benign (90%) in NM_000271.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.981
• PP5: Variant 18-23536758-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-23536758-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21138.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 04, 2023	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1054 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ala1054Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358258, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick type C disease (PMID: 11333381, 20718790). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21138). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: NPC1 c.3160G>A (p.Ala1054Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251446 control chromosomes. c.3160G>A has been reported in the literature in at-least three individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Havla_2020, Millat_2001, Stampfer_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in almost absence of NPC1 protein in skin cells from the patient carrying the homozygous variant (Millat_2001).The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32222928, 11333381, 23433426). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21138). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
