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).

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 230 of the MFSD8 protein (p.Ala230Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs375681665, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MFSD8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 533371). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The valine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
