This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.823C>T variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of arginine to cysteine at codon 275 (p.(Arg275Cys)) of NM_000162.5. This variant was identified in 7 unrelated individuals with hyperglycemia (PS4; PMID:24001579, internal lab contributors). This variant was identified in two individuals with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% and OGTT increment < 3 mmol/L) (internal lab contributors). This variant segregated with diabetes/hyperglycemia, with 3 informative meioses in 1 family (PP1; PMID:24001579). 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 is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.901, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). While a study exploring the effect of this variant on protein function has been performed and suggests a possible impact on stability and dimerization, the study does not meet the criteria set forth by the MDEP for the application of PS3 or BS3 (PMID:24001579). This variant has an incomputable gnomAD v2.1.1 Popmax minor filtering allele frequency due to 1 copy in the European non-Finnish subpopulation, 1 copy in the African/African American subpopulation, and 1 copy in the South Asian subpopulation, thereby meeting the ClinGen MDEP threshold criteria for PM2_Supporting (ENF Popmax FAF less than or equal to 0.000003 and <= 2 copies in ENF and <=1 copy in any other subpopulation) (PM2_Supporting). In summary, 823C>T meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): PS4, PP4_Moderate, PP1, PP2, PP3, PM2_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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 275 of the GCK protein (p.Arg275Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs556436603, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (PMID: 24001579, 27256595; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585927). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GCK protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GCK function (PMID: 24001579). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This is a missense variant located within exon 7 and generates a change from the aminoacid Arginine acid to Cysteine in position 275. It is located in a mutational hot spot (PM1). It is not present in population databases (GnomAD exomes, GnomAD genomes) (PM2). It is a missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to bepathogenic (c.824G>T) (PM5). Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene (PP3). Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation for which missense variants are a common mechanism of a disease (PP2). This variant has been reported in the literature associated with individuals with MODY2 (PMID: 19790256, 28371533) but also there is one in vitro functional study supportive of the damaging effect of this variant on the gene (PMID: 24001579) (PS3). -

This variant was identified in 7 unrelated individuals with hyperglycemia (PS4; PMID: 24001579, internal lab contributors). This variant was identified in two individuals with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% and OGTT increment < 3 mmol/L) (internal lab contributors).

This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.901, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). While a study exploring the effect of this variant on protein function has been performed and suggests a possible impact on stability and dimerization, the study does not meet the criteria set forth by the MDEP for the application of PS3 or BS3 (PMID: 24001579). This variant has an incomputable gnomAD v2.1.1 Popmax minor filtering allele frequency due to 1 copy in the European non-Finnish subpopulation, 1 copy in the African/African American subpopulation, and 1 copy in the South Asian subpopulation, thereby meeting the ClinGen MDEP threshold criteria for PM2_Supporting (ENF Popmax FAF less than or equal to 0.000003 and <= 2 copies in ENF and <=1 copy in any other subpopulation) (PM2_Supporting).
