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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.078175895 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.5, offset of 17, new splice context is: ctgtggtttggattttacAGaag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-40076915-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-40076915-T-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 56213.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the PPT1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PPT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10679943, 21990111). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833664, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 9664077). This variant is also known as T (IVS7, -2). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56213). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

A c.727-2 A>T variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the PPT1 gene. The c.727-2 A>T variant was previously reported in one patient with infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, with known palmitoyl-protein thioesterase deficiency, who also harbored a second PPT1 pathogenic variant, however phase was not reported (Das et al., 1998). The c.727-2 A>T variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The c.727-2 A>T splice site variant gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 7. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
