Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points: 2P and 9B. PM1BP4_StrongBP6BS2
The NM_000352.6(ABCC8):c.2176G>A(p.Ala726Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00081 in 1,613,880 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
ABCC8 (HGNC:59): (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene and deficiencies in the encoded protein have been observed in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder of unregulated and high insulin secretion. Mutations have also been associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II, an autosomal dominant disease of defective insulin secretion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

NM_000352.3(ABCC8):c.2176G>A(A726T) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of familial hyperinsulinism, ABCC8-related. A726T has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 23345197, 24401662, 26758964). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. A726T has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.08%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000352.3(ABCC8):c.2176G>A(A726T) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.2176G>A (p.Ala726Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00045 in 251224 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ABCC8 causing Familial Hyperinsulinism (0.00045 vs 0.0034), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2176G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hyperinsulinism or pulmonary arterial hypertension. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hyperinsulinism. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (Benign/likely benign n=3, VUS n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
