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]

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 8 Pathogenic:5
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 10, 2020Variant summary: CLN8 c.610C>T (p.Arg204Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 252044 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication). c.610C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Ranta_2004, Lee_2014) and cosegregated with the disease phenotype in the families (Ranta_2004). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (1x) and likely pathogenic (2x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 25, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 204 of the CLN8 protein (p.Arg204Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs104894060, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 15024724, 25326637). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2804). 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 expected to disrupt CLN8 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CLN8 function (PMID: 15160397). This variant disrupts the p.Arg204 amino acid residue in CLN8. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CLN8-related conditions (PMID: 15024724, 19807737, 23374165), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
