Genes affected
MFSD8 (HGNC:28486): (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8) This gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL).

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr298*) in the MFSD8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MFSD8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19177532, 25227500, 28586915). This variant is present in population databases (rs118203977, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 17564970). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1003). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
