Genes affected

HNF1A-AS1 (HGNC:26785): (HNF1A antisense RNA 1)

HNF1A (HGNC:11621): (HNF1 homeobox A) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor required for the expression of several liver-specific genes. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. Defects in this gene are a cause of maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) and also can result in the appearance of hepatic adenomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

Collection Method: curation

The c.-287G>A variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, is located in the promoter of NM_000545.8. This region is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP (PM1_Supporting) and is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v4.1 (PM2_Supporting). Additionally, the c.-287G>A variant was identified in at least one individual with a clinical history highly specific for HNF1A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF4A, and response to low doses of sulfonylurea) (PP4_Moderate; PMID: 23348805). This variant segregated with diabetes with one informative meiosis in a single family; however, this does not meet the thresholds for PP1 set by the ClinGen MDEP (PMID: 27236918; internal lab contributors). In summary, c.-287G>A meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 2.1.0, approved 8/11/23): PM1_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PP4_Moderate. -
