Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_Moderate
The NM_001042432.2(CLN3):c.472G>A(p.Ala158Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000275 in 1,456,800 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A158P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

not provided Uncertain:1
p.Ala158Thr (GCT>ACT): c.472 G>A in exon 8 of the CLN3 gene (NM_001042432.1). The Ala158Thr variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The Ala158Thr variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species in the lumen loop between the third and fourth transmembrane segments of the CLN3 protein and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. A different amino acid substitution at the same position (Ala158Pro) has been reported in an individual with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis; however, a second mutation in the CLN3 gene was not identified (Kousi et al., 2012) . Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Ala158Thr is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s). -
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces alanine with threonine at codon 158 of the CLN3 protein (p.Ala158Thr). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205110). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
