Is NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A) pathogenic?

NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A) is classified Likely benign in NPC1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-12-21). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C1.

What condition is associated with NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A)?

NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A) is associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (ClinVar).

How common is NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A) in the general population?

NPC1 p.Ser365= (c.1095G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Niemann-Pick disease type C inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
