Description

The c.1843C>T (p.R615C) alteration is located in coding exon 12 of the NPC1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1843, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 615 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the NPC1 c.1843C>T alteration was observed in 0.005% (13/251,472) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.011% (2/18,394) in the East Asian subpopulation. This alteration has been reported in multiple unrelated patients with Niemann-Pick type C, confirmed by abnormal filipin staining and/or abnormal cholesterol esterification (Park, 2003; Imrie, 2015; Nadjar, 2018; Havla, 2020). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. The p.R615C alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
