Genes affected

CLN6 (HGNC:2077): (CLN6 transmembrane ER protein) This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.2008547 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.7, offset of 26, new splice context is: cctGTaagc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-68211674-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-68211674-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1066129.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 (PMID: 12673792, 30561534). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1066129). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the CLN6 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 CLN6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19135028). -
