Genes affected
ABCC8 (HGNC:59): (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene and deficiencies in the encoded protein have been observed in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder of unregulated and high insulin secretion. Mutations have also been associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II, an autosomal dominant disease of defective insulin secretion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

The p.Arg248Ter variant in ABCC8 has been reported in 10 individuals with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PMID: 10204114, 10828824, 16429405, 19475716, 23345197, 18767144, 20685672, 22855730, 27188453, 25972930, 30462810), and has been identified in 0.003% (1/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs72559730). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 585351) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Athena Diagnostics Inc, Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp), Invitae, and Natera (Inc.) and as likely pathogenic by Fulgent Genetics. Of the 10 affected individuals, 1 was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in trans, and 2 were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg248Ter variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 370210; PMID: 16429405, 20685672,22855730). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 248, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ABCC8 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_strong, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015).

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.742C>T (p.Arg248X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 246258 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.742C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Hyperinsulinism (Del Roio Liberatore_2015, Calabria_2012, Sandal_2009, FernndezMarmiesse_2006, Aguilar-Bryan_1999). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is present in population databases (rs72559730, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg248*) in the ABCC8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCC8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20685672, 23345197). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ABCC8-related conditions (PMID: 25972930, 27188453, 30191644, 30462810). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585351).
