Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_018941.4(CLN8):​c.374A>C​(p.Asn125Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N125S) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

p.Asn125Thr (AAC>ACC): c.374 A>C in exon 2 of the CLN8 gene (NM_018941.3)A variant of unknown significance has been identified in the CLN8 gene. The N125T variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. A different amino acid substitution at the same position (N125S) has been reported as possibly disease causing; however segregation analysis and functional studies have not been performed to support this conclusion (Kousi et al., 2012). N125T was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The N125T variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs between transmembrane domains 3 and 4 at a position that is conserved in mammals; however in silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The finding of a single missense variant of unknown clinical significance makes the molecular diagnosis inconclusive. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s).
