Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 4P and 1B. PM2PM5BP4
The NM_001042432.2(CLN3):c.392G>A(p.Ser131Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000314 in 1,613,800 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S131R) has been classified as Pathogenic.
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]

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. -

Variant summary: CLN3 c.392G>A (p.Ser131Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00026 in 251154 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CLN3 causing Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (0.00026 vs 0.0016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.392G>A in individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205109). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The c.392G>A (p.S131N) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the CLN3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 392, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 131 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 131 of the CLN3 protein (p.Ser131Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs144770450, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205109). 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 CLN3 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. -

The CLN3 c.392G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser131Asn. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CLN3-related disease. This variant is reported in 0.051% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
