The NM_000352.6(ABCC8):βc.1970G>Aβ(p.Arg657Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,614,134 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (β β ).
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]

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.1970G>A (p.Arg657Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251014 control chromosomes. c.1970G>A has been reported in the literature as a heterozygous maternally inherited genotype in at-least one individual affected with Congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy (CHI) (example, Rozenkova_2015). It is not specified whether this individual had a diffuse or a focal lesion and a second paternally in inherited variant supporting a diffuse outcome is also not reported. Furthermore, the maternal inheritance of this variant rules out the possibility of a focal histology. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hyperinsulinism. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Rozenkova_2015). The most pronounced variant effect results in approximately 41% decrease in function of mutant K-ATP channels in-vitro. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as uncertain significance citing an overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The heterozygous c.1970G>A (p.Arg657Gln) missense variant identified in the ABCC8 gene has been reported as heterozygous in an individual affected with congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy [PMID: 26431509]. In vitro functional analysis was suggestive of a residual activation by diazoxide incorrespondence to the patientβs phenotype [41% decrease in activity; PMID: 26431509]. The variant has 0.00002628 allele frequency in the gnomAD(v3) database (4out of 152194 heterozygous alleles, no homozygotes) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. This variant hasbeen reported in the ClinVar database as variant of uncertain significance [Variation ID:552764]. The variant affects a weakly conserved residue. In silico tools provide conflicting predictions about potential pathogenicity of this variant (CADD score = 16.81, REVEL score = 0.154). Due to the lack of compelling evidence for its pathogenicity, the heterozygous c.1970G>A (p.Arg657Gln) missense variant identified in the ABCC8 gene is reported as a Variant of UncertainSignificance. -

The c.1970G>A (p.R657Q) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the ABCC8 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1970, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 657 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Mutations in ABCC8 gene are associated with both neonatal diabetes mellitus as well as MODY. Patients with this mutation may have a better response to sulfonylureas. However, no sufficient evidence is found to ascertain the role of this particular variant (rs755707550) in MODY yet. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 657 of the ABCC8 protein (p.Arg657Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs755707550, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant congenital hyperinsulinism (PMID: 26431509). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552764). 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 not expected to disrupt ABCC8 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCC8 function (PMID: 26431509). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
