Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.408G>A variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha gene, HNF4A, is a synonymous (silent) variant at codon 136 (p.(Ala136=)) of NM_175914.5. This variant is not predicted by SpliceAI to impact splicing (SpliceAI scores less than the MDEP cutoff of 0.2) and is not highly conserved (phyloP100way score of -1.087, which is below the MDEP cutoff of 2.0) (BP4, BP7). The Popmax frequency of the c.408G>A variant in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00002619, which falls between ClinGen MDEP-established cutoffs for PM2_Supporting and BS1; thus, neither criterion will be applied. In summary, c.408G>A meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.0, approved 11/16/22): BP4, BP7.

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]

Potent mutations in HNF4A are associated with poor insulin secretion in response to hyperglycemia. Associated with MODY1. Patients initially respond well to sulfonylureas but eventually become insulin dependent. However, more evidence is required to ascertain the role of this particular variant rs374298096 in MODY, yet. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
