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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 28, 2024Variant summary: PTCH2 c.70C>G (p.Gln24Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.5e-05 in 155326 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.70C>G in individuals affected with Basal Cell Carcinoma, Susceptibility To, 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One submitter has cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 29, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CLN8 function (PMID: 10861296, 15160397). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CLN8 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2802). This missense change has been observed in individuals with progressive epilepsy with mental retardation, also known as Northern epilepsy (PMID: 10508524, 16828266). It is commonly reported in individuals of Finnish ancestry (PMID: 10508524, 16828266). This variant is present in population databases (rs104894064, gnomAD 0.1%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 24 of the CLN8 protein (p.Arg24Gly). -
