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]

NM_000352.3(ABCC8):c.4376T>G(L1459R) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of familial hyperinsulinism, ABCC8-related. L1459R has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 23275527). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. L1459R has not been observed in population frequency databases. In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000352.3(ABCC8):c.4376T>G(L1459R) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1459 of the ABCC8 protein (p.Leu1459Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive diffuse hyperinsulinism (PMID: 23275527). This variant is also known as c.4379T>G (p.Leu1460Arg). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434058). 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 expected to disrupt ABCC8 protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Variant summary: ABCC8 c.4376T>G (p.Leu1459Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The frequency data for this variant in gnomAD is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position. c.4376T>G has been observed in individual(s) affected with Familial Hyperinsulinism (Snider_2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hyperinsulinism. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23275527). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434058). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
