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).

Reported in a family with macular dystrophy who had a second MFSD8 missense variant identified; however, none of the affected individuals had any symptoms of neural ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) (Roosing et al., 2015); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 19177532, 25227500, 31589614) -

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7 Pathogenic:2
Mar 15, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu381*) in the MFSD8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MFSD8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19177532, 25227500, 28586915). This variant is present in population databases (rs724159970, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses and macular dystrophy with central cone involvement (PMID: 19177532, 25227500). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162379). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.E381* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1141G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the MFSD8 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1141. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 11. This variant was reported in an individual with variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, who had an additional MFSD8 nonsense variant also detected, although phase information (cis or trans) was not provided (Aiello C et al. Hum. Mutat., 2009 Mar;30:E530-40). This variant was also detected in a family with macular dystrophy where affected family members had p.E381* and an additional MFSD8 missense variant detected in trans (Roosing S et al. Ophthalmology, 2015 Jan;122:170-9). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
