Genes affected
CLN3 (HGNC:2074): (CLN3 lysosomal/endosomal transmembrane protein, battenin) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in lysosomal function. Mutations in this, as well as other neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (CLN) genes, cause neurodegenerative diseases commonly known as Batten disease or collectively known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). Many alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 28, 2016A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CLN3 gene. The R338H variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations and the 1000 Genomes Project reports the R338H variant was not observed with any significant frequency. The R338H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. However, missense variants in a nearby residue (R334C, R334H) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with CLN3-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 14, 2023The c.1013G>A (p.R338H) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 13) of the CLN3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1013, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 338 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 20, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 338 of the CLN3 protein (p.Arg338His). This variant is present in population databases (rs557870972, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373631). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect 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. -
