Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_001371596.2(MFSD8):c. variant causes a exon region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
MFSD8 (HGNC:28486): (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8) This gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL).
