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.1396T>C variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, is causes an animo acid change at the stop codon of the final exon (10/10), resulting in the addition of 144 amino acids at the end of the protein (p.(Ter466ArgextTer144)). 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). This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical picture consistent with non-autoimmune/insulin-dependent diabetes, however PS4_moderate cannot be applied because this number is below the MDEP threshold (internal lab contributor). This variant was identified in an individual with a phenotype suggestive of GCK-hyperglycemia; however, PP4 is unable to be evaluated due to insufficient clinical information (internal lab contributors). In summary, c.1396T>C meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.2.0, approved 6/7/2023): PVS1, PM2_Supporting. -
