Description

The NPC1 c.2692G>A (p.Asp898Asn) variant has been described in a single study in which it was found in a compound heterozygous state with a frameshift variant in one individual with Niemann-Pick disease (Abela et al. 2014). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000047 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence, the p.Asp898Asn variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for Niemann-Pick disease, type C. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.

Description

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 898 of the NPC1 protein (p.Asp898Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs528841924, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 25425405). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 440008). 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 not expected to disrupt NPC1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
