Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points: 2P and 13B. PM1BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_017882.3(CLN6):c.34G>A(p.Ala12Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0158 in 1,469,292 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 204 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A12A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

CLN6 (HGNC:2077): (CLN6 transmembrane ER 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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_017882.3

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.007892162).

BP6

Variant 15-68229551-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr15-68229551-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 136802.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0104 (1578/152064) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0179 (1216/67934). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0171. There are 11 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 709 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 34. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 11 AR gene
