Genes affected
CTSD (HGNC:2529): (cathepsin D) This gene encodes a member of the A1 family of peptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the cathepsin D light and heavy chains, which heterodimerize to form the mature enzyme. This enzyme exhibits pepsin-like activity and plays a role in protein turnover and in the proteolytic activation of hormones and growth factors. Mutations in this gene play a causal role in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-10 and may be involved in the pathogenesis of several other diseases, including breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer's disease.

Variant summary: CTSD c.751G>A (p.Asp251Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Peptidase family A1 domain (IPR033121) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251362 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.751G>A in individuals affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One submitter has cited a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 251 of the CTSD protein (p.Asp251Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs763407972, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CTSD-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205357). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CTSD protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
