Genes affected

ABCC8 (HGNC:59): (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene and deficiencies in the encoded protein have been observed in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder of unregulated and high insulin secretion. Mutations have also been associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II, an autosomal dominant disease of defective insulin secretion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain ABC transporter 2 (size 234) in uniprot entity ABCC8_HUMAN there are 33 pathogenic changes around while only 3 benign (92%) in NM_000352.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000352.6. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.4117_4119delAAG (p.Lys1373del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant was absent in 251224 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.4117_4119delAAG has been reported in the literature in a heterozygous individual affected with Dominant CH. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. This publication also reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in a substantial reduction in channel function. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26431509). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553439). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
