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]

Variant summary: HNF4A c.49+13G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246082 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.49+13G>A in individuals affected with Maturity Onset Diabetes of The Young 1/Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Potent mutations in HNF4A are associated with poor insulin secretion in response to hyperglycemia. Associated with MODY1. Patients initially respond well to sulfonylureas but eventually become insulin dependent. However, more evidence is required to ascertain the role of this particular variant rs759324522 in MODY, yet. -
