Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP5

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.7A>C variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha gene, HNF4A, causes an amino acid change of serine to arginine at codon 3 (p.(Ser3Arg)) of NM_175914.5. This variant has a REVEL score of 0.256, which is between the ClinGen MDEP thresholds for BP4 and PP3, predicting neither a damaging nor benign impact on HNF4A function. While c.7A>C has a GrpMax filtering allele frequency of less than 0.000003 in the European non-Finnish population in gnomAD v2.1.1, but it has 11 copies in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation; therefore, this variant does not meet the ClinGen MDEP-established cutoff for PM2_Supporting. This variant was identified in 3 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes; however, PS4_Moderate cannot be applied because this number is below the ClinGen MDEP threshold (internal lab contributors). One of these individuals had an alternate molecular basis for disease (BP5; internal lab contributors). In summary, c.7A>C 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 2.0.0, approved 10/11/2023): BP5.

Genes affected
HNF4A (HGNC:5024): (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Maturity onset diabetes mellitus in young Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 08, 2019The p.S3R variant (also known as c.7A>C), located in coding exon 1 of the HNF4A gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 7. The serine at codon 3 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
