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

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_000162.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.917
• PP5: Variant 7-44150961-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-44150961-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 447404.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_risk_allele=1, Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}. Variant chr7-44150961-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Mar 26, 2018	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 28, 2023	This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 160 of the GCK protein (p.Asp160Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (PMID: 19790256, 25015100, 32533152, 33852230, 36257325). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447404). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GCK protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GCK function (PMID: 25015100). This variant disrupts the p.Asp160 amino acid residue in GCK. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 29056535, 30608898). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
