NM_000545.8:c.29C>T

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM1_SupportingPM5_SupportingPP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.29C>T variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, causes an amino acid change of threonine to methionine at codon 10 (p.(Thr10Met)) of NM_000545.8. This variant is located within the dimerization domain of HNF1A, which is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP (PM1_Supporting).  Additionally, this variant was identified in one individual with a clinical history suggestive of HNF1A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF4A) (PP4; internal lab contributors). While the variant was identified in 5 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes, PS4_Moderate could not be applied because c.29C>T does not meet the criteria to apply PM2_Supporting (≤0.00002 allele frequency in the European Non-Finnish population and ≤1 copy in any other subpopulation)(PMIDs 30155490, 18003757, internal lab contributors). Another missense variant, c.28A>C (p.Thr10Pro) has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP (PM5_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.1, approved 9/30/21): PM1_Supporting, PP4, PM5_Suppporting.

Genes affected
HNF1A (HGNC:11621): (HNF1 homeobox A) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor required for the expression of several liver-specific genes. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. Defects in this gene are a cause of maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) and also can result in the appearance of hepatic adenomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
HNF1A-AS1 (HGNC:26785): (HNF1A antisense RNA 1)

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

Mutations in HNF1A gene can predispose to MODY3. It is associated with both micro and macrovascular complications of diabetes, especially cardiovascular complications. Associated with glucosuria. May respond well to sulfonylureas. Sufficient evidence is found to confer the association of this particular variant rs774637975 with MODY3. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T10M variant (also known as c.29C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the HNF1A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 29. The threonine at codon 10 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in association with diabetes (Huang X et al. J Diabetes Res, 2018 Aug;2018:7842064; Sanyoura M et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2018 Jan;103:35-45; Wang Y et al. J Diabetes Res, 2019 Aug;2019:1747684; Billings LK et al. Endocrinol Diabetes Metab, 2022 Nov;5:e372). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The c.29C>T variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, causes an amino acid change of threonine to methionine at codon 10 (p.(Thr10Met)) of NM_000545.8. This variant is located within the dimerization domain of HNF1A, which is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP (PM1_Supporting). Additionally, this variant was identified in one individual with a clinical history suggestive of HNF1A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF4A) (PP4; internal lab contributors). While the variant was identified in 5 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes, PS4_Moderate could not be applied because c.29C>T does not meet the criteria to apply PM2_Supporting (>=0.00002 allele frequency in the European Non-Finnish population and >=1 copy in any other subpopulation)(PMIDs 30155490, 18003757, internal lab contributors). Another missense variant, c.28A>C (p.Thr10Pro) has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP (PM5_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.1, approved 9/30/21): PM1_Supporting, PP4, PM5_Suppporting. -

The p.Thr10Met variant in HNF1A has been reported in at least 3 individuals with Monogenic Diabetes (PMID: 16917892, 18003757, 28938416), and has been identified in 0.01290% (2/15504) of African chromosomes, 0.005794% (2/34520) of Latino chromosomes, and 0.005473% (1/18270) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs774637975). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a carrier frequency. Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Thr10Met variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2_Supporting, PS4_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

Identified in a patients with suspected MODY in published literature, however, clinical information was limited in some cases and was not sufficient for a diagnosis of HNF1A-related MODY in other cases (PMID: 16917892, 30155490, 18003757, 28938416); Published functional studies are discordant regarding the pathogenicity of this variant (PMID: 32910913, 27083284); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29758564, 32238361, 31485449, 32910913, 30155490, 18003757, 33046911, 28938416, 36208030, 27083284, 16917892, 23348805) -
