Description

Variant summary: The c.1211G>A (p.Arg404Gln) in NPC1 gene is a missense change that alters a highly conserved nucleotide and 4/5 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. These predictions were also confirmed by functional studies, where very low esterification values were found in fibroblasts of a patient homozygous for R404Q. The variant is present in the large control population dataset of ExAC at a frequency 0.000041 (5/121346 chrs tested), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic variant (0.0028). The variant was identified in multiple affected individuals with established dx of classical NPC. Lastly, multiple reputable diagnostic centers classified the variant of interest as Pathogenic. Taken together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic.
