| Allelic Variant 1 |
607623.0002; NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE, TYPE C1 |
| Identified Mutation |
THR1036MET; In a patient with NPC disease, Carstea et al. (1997) observed homozygosity for a 3107C-T transition of the NPC1 gene that resulted in a thr1036-to-met amino acid substitution. The same mutation was found as one allele in a compound heterozygote. This patient was apparently unrelated to the first.

| Remarks |
Clinically affected; fibroblasts showed 1 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); the donor subject is either homozygous at the NPC1 gene locus or allele 2 is a deletion: allele 1 carries a substitution (C>T) at nucleotide 3107 (3107C>T) in exon 21, resulting in a missense mutation at codon 1036 [T1036M (THR1036MET)]; the subject also carries the following polymorphisms: homozygous substitution A>G at nucleotide 644 (644A>G) resulting in the substitution of arginine for histidine (H>R) at codon 215 [H215R (HIS215ARG)]; homozygous substitution (A>G) at nucleotide 2572 (c.2572A>G) resulting in a missense mutation (I>V) at codon 858 [I858V (ILE858VAL)]; the first nucleotide of the initiating MET codon is numbered +1; homozygous substitution C>T at nucleotide 2793 (2793C>T) resulting in no change (N>N) at codon 931 [N931N (ASN931ASN)]; homozygous substitution T>C at nucleotide IVS19+28 (IVS19+28T>C) resulting in no change in the predicted amino acid sequence; the first nucleotide of the initiating MET codon is numbered +1. |
