Genes affected
MFSD8 (HGNC:28486): (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8) This gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL).

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7 Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 06, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the MFSD8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MFSD8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19177532, 25227500, 28586915). This variant is present in population databases (rs587778809, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with MFSD8-related conditions (PMID: 17564970, 19201763, 25439737). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65897). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017The MFSD8 c.754+2T>A variant occurs in a canonical splice donor site and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. The variant has been reported in four studies and found in a total of 12 individuals with confirmed or suspected neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, including in eight individuals (including two siblings) in a homozygous state and in four individuals in a compound heterozygous state (Siintola et al. 2007; Kousi et al. 2009; Kousi et al. 2011; Craiu et al. 2015). The c.754+2T>A variant was also reported in a heterozygous state in one unaffected parent. The variant was absent from 504 control chromosomes and not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium. RT-PCR showed aberrant splicing of the variant mRNA leading to an altered pattern of products including almost complete loss of the normal transcript containing exons 7-10 of the gene (Siintola et al. 2007). Based on potential impact of splice donor variants and the evidence from the literature, the c.754+2T>A variant is classified as pathogenic for neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
