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 NM_018941 exon 3 p.Pro260Leu (c.779C>T): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 64/24030 African individuals in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs146579299). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:205196). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: flagged submission

Collection Method: clinical testing

The two variants found can be classified as likely pathogenic according to ACMG criteria: i. Pro260Leu missense variant has low frequency (PM2), detected in trans with another likely pathogenic mutation (PM3), is a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). Additionally, multiple lines of evidence of computational in silico scores support a deleterious effect (PP3), the patient's phenotype is highly specific for a disease with a single gene etiology (PP4). Hence, 2 PM and 3 PP, leads to a likely pathogenic classification; ii. Val261Ala missense variant can also be classified as likely pathogenic with the same rules applied. We have identified the two variants in compound heterozygosity with additional data to consider them as likely pathogenic mutations. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CLN8 c.779C>T (p.Pro260Leu) results in a non-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 0.00023 in 251410 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0026 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CLN8 causing Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) phenotype (0.00087). c.779C>T has been reported in the literature in two individuals affected with retinal dystrophy, without strong evidence for causality (Kolesnikova_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36912596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205196). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
