Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS4_Moderate PS3 PP1_Strong PM2_Supporting PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.483G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, is a synonymous (silent) variant at codon 161 (p.(Lys161=)) of NM_000162.5. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). It is predicted by SpliceAI to impact splicing (SpliceAI score of 0.85 for donor gain and 0.52 for donor loss, which are greater than the MDEP cutoff of 0.2) (PP3), and there is evidence from RNA studies that this variant results in aberrant splicing, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3; Internal lab contributor). This variant was identified in five unrelated individuals with mildly elevated HbA1c that did not require treatment, and segregated with the phenotype, with four informative meioses in three families (PS4_Moderate, PP1_Strong; PMID:1956454, Internal lab contributors). In summary, c.483G>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.1, approved 3/23/23): PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS4_Moderate, PP1_Strong, PS3.

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]

This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene and appears to segregate with disease in at least one family. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (Personal communication related to ClinVar ID: 36224, Accession: SCV003932645.1) -
