Genes affected
CLN3 (HGNC:2074): (CLN3 lysosomal/endosomal transmembrane protein, battenin) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in lysosomal function. Mutations in this, as well as other neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (CLN) genes, cause neurodegenerative diseases commonly known as Batten disease or collectively known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). Many alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: CLN3 c.206C>T (p.Ser69Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 249602 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CLN3 causing Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (5.6e-05 vs 0.0016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.206C>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with inherited retinal degenration without evidence for causality (Zampaglione_2020). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32037395). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205104, all VUS). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.S69L variant (also known as c.206C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the CLN3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 206. The serine at codon 69 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 69 of the CLN3 protein (p.Ser69Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs769840061, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of CLN3-related conditions (PMID: 32037395). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205104). 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.
