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]

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 317 of the GCK protein (p.His317Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant maturity onset diabetes of the young (PMID: 31063852, 36257325; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447426). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GCK protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing; in the absence of RNA/functional studies the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 36257325, 31063852) -

Variant summary: GCK c.951C>G (p.His317Gln) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Hexokinase, C-terminal domain (IPR022673) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 247832 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.951C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals suspected of Monogenic Diabetes (examples: Sanyoura_2019 and Mirshahi_2022). At-least one of these reports classified the variant as VUS (Sanyoura_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Monogenic Diabetes. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36257325, 31063852). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447426). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
