Genes affected

NPC2 (HGNC:14537): (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2) This gene encodes a protein containing a lipid recognition domain. The encoded protein may function in regulating the transport of cholesterol through the late endosomal/lysosomal system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 and frontal lobe atrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu118*) in the NPC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NPC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25145893). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358266, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 11567215, 25772320, 28808920). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8480). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: NPC2 c.352G>T (p.Glu118X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251482 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.352G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (e.g. Millat_2001, Topcu_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
