Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP1_Moderate PP2 PP3 PM2_Supporting PP4_Moderate PS4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1120G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of valine to methionine at codon 374 (p.(Val374Met)) of NM_000162.5. GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.952, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant was identified in 5 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune/insulin-deficient diabetes (PS4_Moderate; Zubkova et al. World Journal of Personalized Medicine. 2017;1(1):40-48, internal lab contributors). This variant segregated with diabetes, with 3 informative meioses in 2 families with MODY (PP1_Moderate; internal lab contributors). This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% and negative antibodies) (PP4_Moderate; internal lab contributors). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PS4_Moderate, PP1_Moderate, PP4_Moderate.

Genes affected

GCK (HGNC:4195): (glucokinase) This gene encodes a member of the hexokinase family of proteins. Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. In contrast to other forms of hexokinase, this enzyme is not inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate but remains active while glucose is abundant. The use of multiple promoters and alternative splicing of this gene result in distinct protein isoforms that exhibit tissue-specific expression in the pancreas and liver. In the pancreas, this enzyme plays a role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, while in the liver, this enzyme is important in glucose uptake and conversion to glycogen. Mutations in this gene that alter enzyme activity have been associated with multiple types of diabetes and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GCK c.1120G>A (p.Val374Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 235394 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1120G>A has been reported in the literature in heterozygous individuals affected with clinical features of autosomal dominant maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (Zhang_2019, Ivanoshchuk_2021, Zubkova_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19790256, 31216801, 33477506). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447380). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
