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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CLN3 c.265C>T (p.Arg89X) 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 was absent in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.265C>T has been reported in the literature in one homozygous individual affected with Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Juvenile Batten Disease) (Perez-Poyato_2011). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg89*) in the CLN3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CLN3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9311735, 28542676). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 21499717). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56262). 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: Pathogenic

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R89* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.265C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the CLN3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 265. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. In one study, this mutation was identified in the homozygous state in an 12 year old male with visual failure, myoclonic generalized seizures, papillary pallor and a diagnosis of classic juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Pérez-Poyato MS, et al. J. Inherit. Metab. Dis. 2011;34(5):1083-93). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
