Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PP4 PM2_Supporting PVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.745G>T variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha gene, HNF4A, results in a premature termination at codon 249 (p.(Glu249Ter)) of NM_175914.5. This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting) and located in biologically relevant exon 7 of 10, is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMID:23348805). This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history suggestive of HNF4A-MODY (neonatal hypoglycemia that is responsive to diazoxide and negative genetic testing for ABCC8 and KCNJ11)(PP4; internal lab contributors). In summary, c.745G>T meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 2.0.0, approved 10/11/2023): PVS1, PP4, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected

HNF4A (HGNC:5024): (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
