Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PP4_ModeratePP1PM2_SupportingPVS1_Strong
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.582+1G>A variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha gene, HNF4A, is predicted to remove a canonical splice donor site in intron 5 of NM_175914.5. This variant is predicted to cause an in-frame deletion of biologically relevant exon 5 of 10, removing more than 10% of the protein (PVS1_Strong). This variant failed QC in gnomAD v2.1.1 , is found in only one individual in BRAVO and absent from the Geisinger and UK Biobanks (PM2_Supporting). This variant was identified in at least 2 individuals with a clinical history highly specific for HNF4A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF1A, history of large for gestational age, and family history of persistent neonatal hypoglycemia) (PP4_Moderate; PMID:17407387, internal lab contributors). This variant segregated with diabetes, with 3 informative meioses in this family with MODY (PP1; PMID:17407387). In summary, c.582+1G>A 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 1.1.0, approved 8/11/2023): PVS1_strong, PM2_supporting, PP4_moderate, PP1.

not provided Pathogenic:2
Canonical splice site variant expected to result in aberrant splicing, although in the absence of functional evidence the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 15830177, 23348805, 17407387, 29758564) -
This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the HNF4A gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in HNF4A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20164212, 23275527, 23348805, 24097065). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of HNF4A-related conditions (PMID: 17407387). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as IVS5nt + 1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 617652). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.582+1G>A variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha gene, HNF4A, is predicted to remove a canonical splice donor site in intron 5 of NM_175914.5.

This variant segregated with diabetes, with 3 informative meioses in this family with MODY (PP1; PMID: 17407387).

Maturity onset diabetes mellitus in young Pathogenic:1
The c.582+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 5 of the HNF4A gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the missing amino acids is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data) and this alteration has been reported in a proband from a MODY cohort (Pearson ER et al. Diabetologia, 2005 May;48:878-85). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1 Pathogenic:1
The c.573+1G>A variant in the Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4-Alpha gene, HNF4A, is predicted to remove a splice donor site in IVS7 (193395). Canonical splice site variants can often be assumed to disrupt gene function by leading to a complete absence of the gene product by lack of transcription or nonsense-mediated decay of an altered transcript. Splice site mutations in HNF4A, including ones in this intron, have been reported in patients with a clinical picture consistent with Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young, Type 1 (MODY1) (23348805). The c.573+1 G>A variant was not observed in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium databases; however, the c.573+1 G>A variant was previously found to segregate with a MODY1 phenotype over three generations in one family (15830177, 17407387). Additionally, multiple lines of computational evidence (MutationTaster, FATHMM, GERP) predict this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure, function, or protein-protein interaction.
