Description
The p.Arg1393His variant in ABCC8 has been reported in 2 individuals with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PMID: 9648840, 9618169, 32041611) and has been identified in 0.008% (2/25832) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs769279368). 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: 446776) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago), Natera Inc., and Athena Diagnostics Inc., and as a variant of uncertain significance by Myriad Women's Health Inc. and Counsyl. Of the 2 affected individuals, 1 was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported pathogenic variant in trans, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg1393His variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 9088; PMID: 9648840). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg1393His variant may impact protein function (PMID: 9648840, 11457841). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PP3, PM2_supporting, PS3_supporting (Richards 2015).
