Genes affected

PPT1 (HGNC:9325): (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met133Argfs*4) in the PPT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PPT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10679943, 21990111). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833644, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 9664077). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56192). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PPT1 c.398delT (p.Met133ArgfsX4) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251274 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.398delT has been reported in the literature in 3 compound heterozygous siblings affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (Das_1998, Hofmann_1999). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence derived from analysis of postmortem brain tissue from one compound heterozygous patient, demonstrated presence of numerous apoptotic cells and abnormally low levels of soluble synaptic vesicle proteins (Kim_2006, 2008). A ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
