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]

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 25, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 149 of the CLN6 protein (p.Arg149His). This variant is present in population databases (rs154774638, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 21549341). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68096). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLN6 protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CLN6 function (PMID: 32171521). This variant disrupts the p.Arg149 amino acid residue in CLN6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CLN6-related conditions (PMID: 21549341, 21990111), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
