The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_000545.8(HNF1A):c.1460_1461delGCinsCT (p.Ser487Thr) variant causes a missense change. The gene HNF1A is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 13 TSG, 5 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The gene HNF1A is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 13 TSG, 5 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The gene HNF1A is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 13 TSG, 5 oncogene, 2 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.S487G: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 3237446, 1 star); p.S487N: Benign (ClinVar VariationId 129230, 2 stars) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected

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]
