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]

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The frameshift variant c.395_396del (p.Ser132CysfsTer18) in CLN6 gene has been reported previously in homozygous state in patients affected with lateinfantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Wheeler et al., 2002). The p.Ser132CysfsTer18 variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.0007%) in the gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Serine 132, changes this amino acid to Cysteine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 18 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ser132CysfsTer18. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser132Cysfs*18) in the CLN6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CLN6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19135028). This variant is present in population databases (rs774543080, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with CLN6-related conditions (PMID: 11727201, 19135028). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4082). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
