Invitae RCV001060607 SCV001225307 uncertain significance Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 2019-12-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NPC1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 516 of the NPC1 protein (p.Cys516Trp). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tryptophan.
