Genes affected

CLN5 (HGNC:2076): (CLN5 intracellular trafficking 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]

FBXL3 (HGNC:13599): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 3) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains several tandem leucine-rich repeats and is localized in the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-76995939-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-76995939-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 56536.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 25, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu175*) in the CLN5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CLN5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20157158). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833972, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 21990111). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56536). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 25, 2022	Variant summary: CLN5 c.524T>G (p.Leu175X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251486 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.524T>G has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease, Kousi_2012). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
