Genes affected
CLN8 (HGNC:2079): (CLN8 transmembrane ER and ERGIC protein) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein belonging to a family of proteins containing TLC domains, which are postulated to function in lipid synthesis, transport, or sensing. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and may recycle between the ER and ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. Mutations in this gene are associated with a disorder characterized by progressive epilepsy with cognitive disabilities (EPMR), which is a subtype of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Patients with mutations in this gene have altered levels of sphingolipid and phospholipids in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
CLN8-AS1 (HGNC:55523): (CLN8 antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.11149826 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 10, offset of 3, new splice context is: cagGTgagg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 16, 2017A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CLN8 gene. The c. -139_-124+21del37 variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. No data are available from control populations to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant spans the 3' end of the noncoding exon 1 and the donor site of intron 2. Several in-silico splice prediction models predict that c. -139_-124+21del37 variant may destroy the natural donor site and lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. Additionally, to our knowledge, splice and regulatory variants have not been reported in CLN8 in association with NCL (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
