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]

Variant summary: CLN8 c.709G>A (p.Gly237Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the TRAM/LAG1/CLN8 homology domain (IPR006634) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.709G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis, CLN8-Related (Northern Epilepsy) (example, Siintola_2006, Kousi_2009, Kousi_2011, Reinhardt_2010 and Yldirm_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. However, ultrastructural analysis of lymphocytes from a homozygous patient have demonstrated curvilinear profiles and granular osmiophilic deposit like patterns of lysosomal storage material (example, Reinhardt_2010). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The Gly237Arg missense variant in the CLN8 gene has been previously reported as a homozygous variant in two individuals with a clinical phenotype suggestive of variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (vLINCL) (Reinhardt et al., 2010). Gly237Arg is a non-conservative amino acid substitution as a uncharged non-polar Glycine residue is replaced by a positively charged Arginine residue. In addition, Gly237Arg alters a conserved position in the fifth transmembrane domain of the CLN8 protein. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 237 of the CLN8 protein (p.Gly237Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs746645358, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 19201763, 19807737, 21990111, 33358637). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188917). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CLN8 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
