Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_017882.3(CLN6):​c.601A>T​(p.Lys201*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K201K) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

CLN6 (HGNC:2077): (CLN6 transmembrane ER protein) This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys201*) in the CLN6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CLN6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19135028). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN6-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
