Genes affected
KCNJ11 (HGNC:6257): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 11) Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins and is found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor SUR. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by unregulated insulin secretion. Defects in this gene may also contribute to autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM), transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3), and permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Variant summary: KCNJ11 c.160C>T (p.Arg54Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying, transmembrane domain (IPR040445) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251196 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.160C>T has been reported in the literature in one homozygous individual with Congenital Hyperinsulinemia and one heterozygous individual with adult-onset diabetes; however, the clinical details of these cases were not provided (De Franco_2020). This variant has also been reported in at least two heterozygous carriers without diabetes (Billings_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Congenital Hyperinsulinism or diabetes. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447634). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Mutations in KCNJ11 gene can cause decreased production and secretion of insulin. This can lead to MODY which may be responsive to oral sulfonylureas. It is also associated with Neonatal Diabetes. However, no sufficient evidence is found to ascertain the role of this particular variant (rs375848765) in MODY yet. -
