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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CLN6 c.13C>T (p.Arg5Trp) variant has been reported in at least two unrelated individuals or families affected with Batten disease and is reported to segregate with disease in one family (Talbot J et al., PMID: 33024953; Vairo FP et al., PMID: 28831385). In all reported affected individuals, this variant was detected in trans to distinct pathogenic variants including one frameshift variant (Talbot J et al., PMID: 33024953; Vairo FP et al., PMID: 28831385). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline variant of uncertain significance by four submitters. This variant is only observed on 4/111,622 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant occurs in one of three arginines in a row that are required for endoplasmic reticulum targeting (Heine C et al., PMID: 17453415) and computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to CLN6 function. Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 5 of the CLN6 protein (p.Arg5Trp). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 21990111, 28831385, 33024953). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 457969). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLN6 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CLN6 c.13C>T (p.Arg5Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 80612 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.13C>T has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state together with a VUS in three siblings with clinical features of Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (Vairo_2017), in trans with a pathogenic variant an individual who underwent whole genome sequencing, confirming a diagnosis of Kufs disease/Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Talbot_2020), and in the heterozygous state in at least one other affected individual (Kousi_2012). These data suggest the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21990111, 33024953, 28831385). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
