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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 48 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-17387559-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-17387559-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 447636.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

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 (rs1554901775) in MODY yet. -
