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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu167*) in the CLN8 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 120 amino acid(s) of the CLN8 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs144495588, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 26075876). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205194). This variant disrupts a region of the CLN8 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Leu188Valfs*58) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22220808; internal data). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CLN8 c.499G>T (p.Glu167X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (example, p.Arg204Cys, p.Gly237Arg). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251342 control chromosomes. c.499G>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (example, Di Fruscio_2015). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26075876). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205194). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Variant interpreted as Pathogenic and reported on 08-24-2021 by Lab or GTR ID 500031. Assertions are reported exactly as they appear on the patient provided laboratory report. GenomeConnect does not attempt to reinterpret the variant. The IDDRC-CTSA National Brain Gene Registry (BGR ) is a study funded by the U.S. National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and includes 13 Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Center (IDDRC) institutions. The study is led by Principal Investigator John Constantino MD PhD from Washington University. The BGR is a data commons of gene variants paired with subject clinical information. This database helps scientists learn more about genetic changes and their impact on the brain and behavior. Participation in the Brain Gene Registry requires participation in GenomeConnect. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E167* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.499G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the CLN8 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 499. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration was identified in the heterozygous state in an individual with a clinical diagnosis of neuronal lipofuscinosis (NCL) type 8, in addition, there was another suspected disease-causing alteration found in the individual as well (Di Fruscio G et al. Autophagy, 2015;11:928-38). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
