Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP2 PP3 PM2_Supporting PP4_Moderate PM5_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.824G>T variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of arginine to leucine at codon 275 (p.(Arg275Leu)) of NM_000162.5. This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% and negative antibodies) (PP4_Moderate; internal lab contributors). 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 is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.702, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). Two other missense variants at this residue, c.823C>T p.(Arg275Cys) and c.823C>G (p.Arg275Gly), have been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP (PM5_Strong). In summary, c.824G>T meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): PP4_Moderate, PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.

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]
