Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Strong

The NM_001371596.2(MFSD8):​c.590G>T​(p.Gly197Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,256 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 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. G197D) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

MFSD8 (HGNC:28486): (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8) This gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL).

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.957

p.Gly197Val (GGT>GTT): c.590 G>T in exon 7 of the MFSD8 gene (NM_152778.2)A variant of unknown significance has been identified in the MFSD8 gene. The G197V variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It 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. This substitution alters a conserved position in the extracellular loop between the fifth and sixth transmembrane domains of the MFSD8 protein (Kousi et al., 2012). In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, the G197V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties, and missense mutations in nearby residues have not been reported in association with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -
