Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003606625 SCV004507374 likely pathogenic Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 2022-12-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this variant results in generation of a cryptic acceptor splice site within intron 23 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 32138288). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Niemann-Pick disease type C (PMID: 32138288). This sequence change falls in intron 23 of the NPC1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NPC1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product.
