Genes affected
CLN5 (HGNC:2076): (CLN5 intracellular trafficking protein) This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
FBXL3 (HGNC:13599): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 3) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains several tandem leucine-rich repeats and is localized in the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.606G>A (p.M202I) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the CLN5 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 606, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 202 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the CLN5 c.606G>A alteration was observed in 0.05% (146/282884) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.1% (126/129190) in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation. This variant was identified in two individuals with a clinical suspicion of a lysosomal storage disease; however, no second CLN5 variants were identified (Fern&aacute;ndez-Marmiesse, 2014). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. The p.M202I alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 202 of the CLN5 protein (p.Met202Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs144656959, gnomAD 0.09%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with lysosomal storage disease (PMID: 24767253). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205145). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLN5 protein function. 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. -
