Genes affected
CLN6 (HGNC:2077): (CLN6 transmembrane ER protein) This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

This variant, c.461_463del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the CLN6 protein (p.Ile154del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908080, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individuals with CLN6-related conditions (PMID: 11727201, 12673792, 21990111). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4083). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects CLN6 function (PMID: 20020536). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CLN6 c.461_463delTCA (p.Ile154del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251134 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.461_463delTCA has been reported in the literature in several homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (e.g. Teixeira_2003, Bouhouche_2012). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated decreased half-life for the variant protein (Kurze_2010). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Inframe deletion located in a nonrepeat region: predicted to change the length of the protein and disrupt normal protein function. Functional studies provide supporting evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 20020536). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 11727201, 12673792). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000004083 /PMID: 11727201 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
