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]

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Pathogenic:2
Mar 03, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 103 of the CLN6 protein (p.Arg103Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs154774634, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 21549341, 30561534, 35505348). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30600). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLN6 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg103 amino acid residue in CLN6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18846690, 27903347). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: CLN6 c.308G>A (p.Arg103Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 250396 control chromosomes. c.308G>A has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) and this variant was co-segregated with disease (example: Arsov_ 2011, Berkovic_2019. Rus_2022). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Additionally, another missense variant at the same codon, R103W, has been found in patients with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis in the Human Gene Mutation Database, indicating the arginine residue is critical for CLN6 protein function. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21549341, 30561534, 35505348). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30600). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
