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]

Variant summary: CLN6 c.794_796delCCT (p.Ser265del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251342 control chromosomes. c.794_796delCCT has been observed in multiple individuals affected with Ceroid lipofuscinosis, neuronal, 6A (Matsumoto_2019, Rus_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Mole_2004). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31029456, 15265688, 35505348). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205182). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Inframe deletion located in a nonrepeat region: predicted to change the length of the protein and disrupt normal protein function. The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 19135028, 19520283, 30705896, 31029456). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 30705896). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000205182 /PMID: 12815591). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

NM_017882.2(CLN6):c.794_796delCCT(S265del) is an in-frame deletion variant classified as pathogenic in the context of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, CLN6-related. S265del has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 21990111, 12815591, 19135028, 29930972). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 19135028, 15265688). S265del has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AFR 0.01%). In summary, NM_017882.2(CLN6):c.794_796delCCT(S265del) is an in-frame deletion variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

This variant, c.794_796del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the CLN6 protein (p.Ser265del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs768422260, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individuals with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 (PMID: 19135028, 19520283, 30705896, 31029456). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CLN6 function (PMID: 15265688). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
