Genes affected
CLN8 (HGNC:2079): (CLN8 transmembrane ER and ERGIC protein) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein belonging to a family of proteins containing TLC domains, which are postulated to function in lipid synthesis, transport, or sensing. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and may recycle between the ER and ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. Mutations in this gene are associated with a disorder characterized by progressive epilepsy with cognitive disabilities (EPMR), which is a subtype of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Patients with mutations in this gene have altered levels of sphingolipid and phospholipids in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 27, 2023Variant summary: CLN8 c.46C>A (p.Leu16Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251488 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.46C>A has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in two siblings affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) from a consanguineous Turkish family, however it was reported as a complex allele together with c.509C>T, p.Thr170Met (Ranta_2004). To our knowledge, no other occurrences of c.46C>A in affected individuals and no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function have been reported. Therefore, this report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15024724). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 04, 2022This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 16 of the CLN8 protein (p.Leu16Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs386834129, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 15024724). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56709). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLN8 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. -
