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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val236Serfs*8) in the CLN8 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 51 amino acid(s) of the CLN8 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs761621368, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLN8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 457979). This variant disrupts a region of the CLN8 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp263Cys) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15024724). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
