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 was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The CLN6 c.923G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser308Thr. This variant has been previously reported along with two other variants in the CLN6 gene in an individual with major adult form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Family Ku8, Arsov et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21549341). This variant was also observed in the heterozygous state in a cohort of individuals with suspected lysosomal storage disease and reported as a variant of uncertain significance (Table 3, Gheldof et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30548430). This variant is reported in 0.34% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-68500491-C-G), which is more common than expected for a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

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

The p.S308T variant (also known as c.923G>C), located in coding exon 7 of the CLN6 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 923. The serine at codon 308 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in conjunction with two additional CLN6 alterations c.150C>G (p.T50*) and c.231C>G (p.N77K) in an individual with Kufs disease; however, the phase of these three alterations was not confirmed (Arsov T et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2011 May;88:566-73). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

CLN6 NM_017882.2 exon 7 p.Ser308Thr (c.923G>C): This variant has not been reported in the literature and is present in 0.3% (435/128540) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-68500491-C-G). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:198573). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
