Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1PM2PP2PP3

The NM_000162.5(GCK):c.835G>A(p.Glu279Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,610,530 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E279G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 13 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_000162.5

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 274 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 10 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.069 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.7821 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to transient neonatal diabetes mellitus, monogenic diabetes, permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus 1, diabetes mellitus, noninsulin-dependent, maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2, hyperinsulinism due to glucokinase deficiency, permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus, maturity-onset diabetes of the young.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.809
