Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_018941.4(CLN8):c.545C>T(p.Ala182Val) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000204 in 1,614,266 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. 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. A182T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Variant summary: CLN8 c.545C>T (p.Ala182Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the TRAM/LAG1/CLN8 homology domain (IPR006634) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant is located close to a splice-site, therefore might also affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 249978 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.545C>T in individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Inborn genetic diseases    Uncertain:1 
The c.545C>T (p.A182V) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the CLN8 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 545, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 182 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
not provided    Uncertain:1 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 182 of the CLN8 protein (p.Ala182Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs541994118, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 450759). 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 disruptive. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
