Genes affected

PPT1 (HGNC:9325): (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000310.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 1-40092507-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-40092507-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 56179.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=3}. Variant chr1-40092507-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 01, 2022	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 42 of the PPT1 protein (p.Gly42Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 9664077). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56179). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PPT1 function (PMID: 11440996). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

Variant summary: PPT1 c.125G>A (p.Gly42Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant abolishes a canonical 3' acceptor site and two predict the variant weakens the 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 251424 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.125G>A has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in two siblings affected with infantile onset Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (Das_1998, Hofmann_1999). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Additionally, a functional study found the variant showed no detectable instrinsic enzyme activity in vitro, with <2% activity of the WT protein (Das_2001). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11440996, 9664077, 10191107). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
