Genes affected

ABCC8 (HGNC:59): (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene and deficiencies in the encoded protein have been observed in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder of unregulated and high insulin secretion. Mutations have also been associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II, an autosomal dominant disease of defective insulin secretion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.3509delT (p.Leu1170ArgfsX38) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251406 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3509delT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Hyperinsulinism (Calton_2012, Snider_2013, Kapoor_2013, Demirbilek_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1170Argfs*38) in the ABCC8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCC8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20685672, 23345197). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive congenital hyperinsulinism (PMID: 23275527, 24686051). This variant is also known as c.3512delT (p.Leu1171Argfs*38). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157696). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
