Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP1_Strong PM5_Supporting PM2 PP2 PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1112G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of cysteine to tyrosine at codon 371 (p.(Cys371Tyr)) 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 0.956, 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 segregated with diabetes with 5 informative meioses in a family with diabetes/hyperglycemia (PP1_Strong; internal lab contributors). This variant was identified in an individual with a phenotype suggestive of GCK-hyperglycemia; however, PP4 is unable to be evaluated due to insufficient clinical information (internal lab contributors). Another missense variant, c.1112G>T p.(Cys371Phe)​, has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP but has a greater Grantham distance than p.(Cys371Tyr)(PM5_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for GENE-MODY. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.2.0, approved 6/7/2023): PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PP1_Strong, PM5_Supporting.

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]
