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]

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). The variant is in trans with the other variant (NM_000310.4:c.433+1G>A). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.93; 3Cnet: 0.29). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with PPT1-related disorder (PMID: 21990111). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 138 of the PPT1 protein (p.Ser138Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833646, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (PMID: 21990111, 30842224; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56194). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PPT1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: PPT1 c.413C>T (p.Ser138Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251288 control chromosomes.c.413C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with rett syndrome, neurodevelopmental disabilities, progressive myoclonic epilepsy and epilepsy (example: Iwama_2019, Kim_2019, Zhang_2020 and Zhao_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21990111, 30842224, 30952489, 35217970). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56194). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
