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]

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CLN8 gene. The c.-125_-124+19dup21 variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. 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.-125_-124+19dup21 creates a cryptic donor site downstream of the natural splice site, leading 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. -
