Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PP4_ModeratePP2PP3PM2_SupportingPM5_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.749G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of arginine to histidine at codon 250 (p.(Arg250His)) of NM_000162.5. This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (pediatric patient with incidental diagnosis with FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% persistently and negative antibodies (PP4_Moderate; PMID:28170077, internal lab contributors). GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and has pathogenic missense variants as a common mechanism of disease (PP2). GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and has pathogenic missense variants as a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant has an incomputable gnomAD v2.1.1 Popmax minor filtering allele frequency due to 0 copies in the European non-Finnish subpopulation and 1 copy in the African/African American subpopulation, thereby meeting the ClinGen MDEP threshold criteria for PM2_Supporting (ENF Popmax FAF <= 0.000003 and <= 2 copies in ENF and <=1 copy in any other subpopulation) (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant, c.748C>T p.Arg250Cys, has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP but has a greater Grantham distance than p.Arg250His (PM5_Supporting). The relative activity index (RAI) of this variant was above the MDEP cutoff of 0.5, and thermostability was not evaluated, and neither PS3 nor BS3 could be applied (PMID:30592380). In summary, c.749G>A meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3, approved 8/11/2023): PP4_Moderate, PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.

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]
