M1142T; NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE, TYPE C1 |
| Identified Mutation |
MET1142THR |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; fibroblasts showed 52 pmol CE/mg protein/6 hr activity in a cholesterol esterification assay [normal mean was 1855 +/- 1327 pmol CE/mg protein/6 hr, see Park et al. Hum Mut 22:313-325 (2003)]; fibroblasts were scored as npc-like in a filipin staining assay (see Park et al., 2003); a complementation test showed that the cells were scored as "other" (see Park et al., 2003); the donor subject is a compound heterozygote at the NPC1 gene locus: allele 1 carries a substitution (G>A) at nucleotide 1211 (c.1211G>A) in exon 8, resulting in a missense mutation at codon 404 [R404Q (ARG404GLN)]; allele 2 carries a substitution (T>C) at nucleotide 3425 (c.3425T>C) in exon 22, resulting in a missense mutation at codon 1142 [M1142T (MET1142THR)]; the first nucleotide of the initiating MET codon is numbered +1. |
