Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PP4 PM2_Supporting PVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.724del variant in the hepatic nuclear factor 4-alpha gene, HNF4A, causes a frameshift in the protein at codon 242 in NM_175914.5, adding 39 novel amino acids before encountering a stop codon (p.(Val242Cysfs*39)). This variant, located in biologically-relevant exon 7 of 10, is predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMID:23348805). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for HNF4A-monogenic diabetes (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF1A) (PP4; internal lab contributors). In summary, c.724del meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 2.0.0, approved 10/11/2023): PVS1, PP4, PM2_Supporting.

Genes affected

HNF4A (HGNC:5024): (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.724delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the HNF4A gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 724, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V242Cfs*39). This mutation was reported in a maturity-onset diabetes of the young family (Colclough K et al. Hum. Mutat., 2013 May;34:669-85). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
