Description

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 558 of the NPC1 protein (p.Ala558Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs201156397, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 22269206, 23427322). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1519574). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Ala558 amino acid residue in NPC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with NPC1-related conditions (PMID: 32289814), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
