Genes affected
PPT1 (HGNC:9325): (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu10*) in the PPT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PPT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10679943, 21990111). This variant is present in population databases (rs137852699, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with juvenile or infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 9425237, 9664077, 23539563). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8903). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Has been reported previously in several families with infantile or juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) in the compound heterozygous state with a second variant or in the homozygous state (Mitchison et al., 1998; Das et al., 1998; Miller et al., 2013); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Published functional studies demonstrate L10X associated with decreased mRNA and enzyme activity levels (Das et al., 2001; Miller et al., 2013).; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21990111, 9733046, 11073228, 21704547, 15965709, 9425237, 31741823, 9664077, 23539563, 31440721, 34733232, 11440996)

The c.29T>A (p.L10*) alteration, located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the PPT1 gene, consists of a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 29. This changes the amino acid from a leucine (L) to a stop codon at amino acid position 10. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.01% (21/281870) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.02% (20/128290) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This mutation was reported in the homozygous state in an individual diagnosed with autosomal recessive infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Munroe, 1998). This mutation has also been found in multiple individuals who were compound heterozygotes for p.L10* along with another mutation in PPT1 and diagnosed with juvenile onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis/granular osmiophilic deposits (Mitchison, 1998). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Variant summary: PPT1 c.29T>A (p.Leu10X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 250496 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the maximum estimated for a pathogenic variant in PPT1 causing Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (0.0014), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.29T>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) in both homozygous and compound heterozygous state (e.g. Das_1998, Mitchison_1998, Stephenson_1999). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence measuring PPT enzyme activity from patient derived cells, and demonstrated less than 10% residual activity (Mitchison_1998). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9425237, 9664077, 10191109). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8903). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
