Remarks

Clinically affected; ataxia; developmental regressions; superior gaze palsy; fibroblasts showed no detectable activity in a cholesterol esterification assay; the donor subject is a compound heterozygote at the NPC1 gene locus: allele 1 carries a substitution (T>C) at nucleotide 3182 (c.3182T>C) in exon 21, resulting in a missense mutation at codon 1061 [I1061T (ILE1061THR)]; allele 2 carries a 2 bp insertion mutation (insGA) at nucleotide 424 (c.424_425insGA; 424insGA) in exon 4 resulting in a frameshift; the first nucleotide of the initiating Met codon is numbered +1.

Allelic Variant 1

607623.0010; NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE, TYPE C1

Identified Mutation

ILE1061THR; In an initial study of 25 patients with type C1 Niemann-Pick disease, Millat et al. [Am. J. Hum. Genet. 65: 1321-1329 (1999)] identified a T-to-C transition at nucleotide 3182 of the NPC1 gene that led to an ile1061-to-thr substitution (I1061T) in 3 patients. The mutation, located in exon 21, affected a putative transmembrane domain of the protein. The mutation was particularly frequent in patients with NPC from western Europe, especially France and the U.K. and in Hispanic patients whose roots were in the Upper Rio Grande valley of the U.S. Millat et al. [Am. J. Hum. Genet. 65: 1321-1329 (1999)] concluded that the I1061T mutation originated in Europe and that the high frequency in northern Rio Grande Hispanics resulted from a founder effect.
