Genes affected
CSTB (HGNC:2482): (cystatin B) The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and kininogens. This gene encodes a stefin that functions as an intracellular thiol protease inhibitor. The protein is able to form a dimer stabilized by noncovalent forces, inhibiting papain and cathepsins l, h and b. The protein is thought to play a role in protecting against the proteases leaking from lysosomes. Evidence indicates that mutations in this gene are responsible for the primary defects in patients with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (EPM1). One type of mutation responsible for EPM1 is the expansion in the promoter region of this gene of a CCCCGCCCCGCG repeat from 2-3 copies to 30-78 copies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Progressive myoclonic epilepsy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 03, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln46*) in the CSTB gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 53 amino acid(s) of the CSTB protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs545986367, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with CTSB-related progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PMID: 23205931). This variant is also known as c.133C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161418). This variant disrupts a region of the CSTB protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg68*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8596935, 15483648, 26843564). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. -
