GeneDx RCV000212760 SCV000208908 pathogenic not provided 2019-08-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Reported previously in association with Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC) (Millat et al., 2001; Millat et al., 2005; Sevin et al. 2007; Garver et al. 2010). Two patients with NPC who were apparently homozygous for the V950M variant had adult onset of neurological symptoms (Millat et al., 2001; Sevin et al. 2007); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15465421, 26666848, 19744920, 16126423, 26984608, 11333381, 17003072, 27900365)

Invitae RCV000003105 SCV000770848 pathogenic Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 2023-12-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 950 of the NPC1 protein (p.Val950Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs120074135, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 11333381, 17003072, 26984608, 27900365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2971). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on NPC1 protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on NPC1 function (PMID: 28193631, 30923329, 31699992). This variant disrupts the p.Val950 amino acid residue in NPC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25236789, 26981555). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
