Genes affected

GCK (HGNC:4195): (glucokinase) This gene encodes a member of the hexokinase family of proteins. Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. In contrast to other forms of hexokinase, this enzyme is not inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate but remains active while glucose is abundant. The use of multiple promoters and alternative splicing of this gene result in distinct protein isoforms that exhibit tissue-specific expression in the pancreas and liver. In the pancreas, this enzyme plays a role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, while in the liver, this enzyme is important in glucose uptake and conversion to glycogen. Mutations in this gene that alter enzyme activity have been associated with multiple types of diabetes and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

The c.1379_*2del variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes a frameshift in the protein at codon 460 (NM_000162.5), causing a deletion of amino acids 26-265 and adding 146 novel amino acids before encountering a stop codon (p.(p.Ala460_Gln465delins146)). This variant, located in exon 10 of 10, is predicted to cause loss of a stop codon and result in an elongated protein. The additional residues are expected to cause improper folding, resulting in loss of function in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMID 19790256). This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting), and was identified in one individual 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 contributor). Insufficient clinical information was available to evaluate for PP4. This variant segregated with diabetes with one informative meiosis in this individual's family; however, this does not meet the thresholds for PP1 set by the ClinGen MDEP (PMID: 27236918, internal lab contributor). In summary, c.1379_*2del meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.2, approved 6/7/2023): PVS1, PM2_Supporting. -
