Description
In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. 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 CLN8 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188917). This missense change has been observed in individuals with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 19201763, 19807737, 21990111, 33358637). This variant is present in population databases (rs746645358, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 237 of the CLN8 protein (p.Gly237Arg).
