Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points: 1P and 8B. PP2BA1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.835G>C variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of glutamic acid to glutamine at codon 279 (p.(Glu279Gln)) of NM_000162.5. GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and has pathogenic missense variants as a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant has a Popmax Filtering allele frequency in gnomAD 2.1.1 of 0.000112, which is greater than the MDEP threshold for BA1 (≥0.0001) (BA1). This variant was identified in at least 4 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes; however, PS4 cannot be applied because the variant MAF in gnomAD is above the ClinGen MDEP PM2_Supporting cutoff (PMID 8446612, PMID 24097065, PMID 30245511, internal lab contributor). This variant has a REVEL score of 0.698, which is between the ClinGen MDEP thresholds predicting neither a damaging nor benign impact on GCK function. While functional studies exploring the effect of this mutation on the gene have been assessed, these studies do not meet the criteria set forth by the MDEP for application of PS3 or BS3 (PMID:8446612). In summary, c.835G>C meets the criteria to be classified as benign for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.2.0, approved 6/7/2023): BA1, PP2.

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]
