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]

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 1 Pathogenic:2

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The c.3868-1G>A variant in ABCC8 has been reported in at least 2 individuals with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PMID: 23345197, 22876564), and has been identified in 0.01% (3/30600) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs766431403). 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: 552652) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Counsyl and Invitae and as a variant of uncertain significance by Clinical Genomics (Uppaluri K&H Personalized Medicine Clinic). Of the 2 affected individuals, both were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the c.3868-1G>A variant is pathogenic (PMID: 22876564, 23345197). This variant is located in the 3' splice region. SpliceAI predictions indicate use of an out-of-frame cryptic splice site 145 bases from the intron-exon boundary, providing evidence that this variant may cause a frameshift and lead to a premature termination codon downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. 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: PM3, PM2_supporting, PVS1 (Richards 2015). -

Familial hyperinsulinism Pathogenic:1

May 19, 2025

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.3868-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of ABCC8 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a canonical 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 247796 control chromosomes. c.3868-1G>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Congenital hyperinsulinism (example: Kapoor_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552652). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is present in population databases (rs766431403, ExAC 0.01%). 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 disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552652). This variant is also known as c.3871-1G>A. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive familial hyperinsulinism (PMID: 22876564, 23345197). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 31 of the ABCC8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ABCC8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20685672, 23345197). -
