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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (PMID: 24735133, 11508276, 24804978, 28726111). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36256). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln26*) in the GCK gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GCK are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24323243). -

The GCK c.76C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln26*). This variant has been reported in several individuals with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) (Massa et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11508276; Costantini et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24735133; Table S1, Mirshahi et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36257325; Yorifuji et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36504295), in an individual with type 2 diabetes (Table S6, Jurgens et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35177841), and in three individuals with monogenic diabetes (Vaxillaire et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33242514). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in GCK are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
