In OMIM this gene is associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 and type D. One of the features of this disease is choleostasis (Mengel et al 2013 PMID: 24135395 ). Numerous cases (~50) reported with patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C1 and variants in this gene. In gene2phenotype there is a confirmed association of NPC1 with NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE, TYPE C1.Created: 25 Jul 2018, 10:01 a.m.
Comment on phenotypes: Added Niemann-Pick disease, type D and MIM numbers.Created: 25 Jul 2018, 9:38 a.m.
