Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000362578 SCV002570814 benign not specified 2022-07-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: NPC2 c.88G>A (p.Val30Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the MD-2-related lipid-recognition domain (IPR003172) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0021 in 207464 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0046 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NPC2 causing Niemann-Pick Disease Type C phenotype (0.00068), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. To our knowledge, no penetrant association of c.88G>A with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C has been reported in the literature. A functional study examining the expression and localization of NPC2 missense variants in human fibroblasts found no biological abnormalities in cells expressing this variant, suggesting it does not strongly impact protein function (Chikh_2005). Seven assessments for this variant have been submitted to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and all classified the variant as benign (n=4) or likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.
