Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln421*) in the NPC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NPC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9211850). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann–Pick type C disease (PMID: 16126423). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 958381). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
