MFSD8 variants have been associated with Ceroid lipofuscinosis, neuronal, 7 OMIM:610951 and as a definitive gene for the same condition in G2P. At least 12 MFSD8 variants have been associated with OMIM:610951 in at least 12 unrelated cases (PMID:39108195;30144815;19201763). The age of onset is typically in childhood, however, PMID:39108195 reports NM_152778.4: c.935T>C p.(Ile312Thr) in cases with adult‐onset recessive ataxia, which can be the presenting feature, but may also occur in combination with retinal dystrophy.
