| Remarks |
Clinically affected; diagnosed at 10 yr; deceased at 14 yr; brother with NPC; clumsy; learning difficulties; ataxia; vertical gaze palsy; dysarthria; cataplexy; dysphagia; gastrostomy; breathing difficulties; repeated pneumonia; epilepsy; wheelchair bound; severe difficulty with movement; absence of communication; tube fed; fibroblasts showed 76 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 "NA" in a filipin staining assay (see Park et al., 2003); the donor subject is a compound heterozygote at the NPC1 gene locus: allele 1 carries a substitution (C>T) at nucleotide 410 (c.410C>T) in exon 4 resulting in a missense mutation at codon 137 [T137M (THR137MET)]; allele 2 carries an insertion (insT) at nucleotide 2336 (c.2336insT) in exon 15; the subject also carries the following polymorphism: (T>C) at nucleotide 387 (c.387T>C) resulting in no change (Y>Y) at codon 129 [Y129Y, (TYR129TYR)]; the first nucleotide of the initiating Met codon is numbered +1; culture is a slow grower |
