Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 112 of the CLN5 protein (p.Arg112His). This variant is present in population databases (rs104894386, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with juvenile onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 15728307, 28542837, 30078242). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2567). 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 CLN5 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLN5 function (PMID: 20052765). This variant disrupts the p.Arg112 amino acid residue in CLN5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CLN5-related conditions (PMID: 30078242), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
