The NM_000162.5(GCK):c.573G>T (p.Arg191Arg) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000031 (AC=5) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,812 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000147. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

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]

ENSG00000300758 (HGNC:):

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for GCK are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000147 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 supporting.
	BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact		Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Moderate).
	BP7Synonymous variant, no splicing impact		Synonymous variant at non-conserved position with no predicted splicing impact (BP7); Synonymous at non-conserved position, no splicing concern — benign (BP7).
