Genes affected

PPT1 (HGNC:9325): (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.078175895 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.4, offset of 28, new splice context is: gagGTtggt. 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 1-40076841-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-40076841-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 237631.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the PPT1 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237631). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the PPT1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asp267Thrfs*5) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9664077, 10649502; Invitae). 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. -
