Counsyl RCV000169611 SCV000221135 likely pathogenic Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 2015-02-13 criteria provided, single submitter literature only
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000169611 SCV001550090 likely pathogenic Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing This is a donor site variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, classified with a very strong level of pathogenicity. The c.1947+2T>G variant has been identified in one patient with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (Park_2003_PMID:12955717). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs764472245), and ClinVar (Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter. Classified as likely pathogenic by Counsyl in 2015) databases. Allele frequency in the general population is extremely low (0.012%, ExAC) with recommended threshold of 0.061% in the general population. Three pathogenic variants with a higher frequency threshold than recommended are known in this gene, including: chr18:21113327:CTGAG>C, frequency: 0.061%, chr18:21123463:C>A, frequency: 0.045, chr18:21116700:A>G, frequency: 0.039%.Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a lipid storage disease that can present in infants, children, or adults. Neonates can present with ascites and severe liver disease from infiltration of the liver and/or respiratory failure from infiltration of the lungs. Other infants, without liver or pulmonary disease, have hypotonia and developmental delay. The classic presentation occurs in mid-to-late childhood with the insidious onset of ataxia, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy (VSGP), and dementia. Dystonia and seizures are common. Dysarthria and dysphagia eventually become disabling, making oral feeding impossible; death usually occurs in the late second or third decade from aspiration pneumonia. Adults are more likely to present with dementia or psychiatric symptoms. (Verbatim, GeneReviews. Patterson_2019_NCBI ID: NBK1296)
