Description

Variant summary: PDX1 c.670G>A (p.Glu224Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0013 in 236358 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.01 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 8000-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PDX1 causing Familial Monogenic Diabetes (Maturity Onset Diabetes Of The Young 4)/Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus phenotype (1.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. Nevertheless, c.670G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals of Indian origin affected with Familial Monogenic Diabetes (Maturity Onset Diabetes Of The Young 4)/Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus (Cockburn_2004, Chapla_2015, Doddabelavangala_2017). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with disease due to limited genotyping analysis or due to limited/inconclusive segregation data. One study carried out a comprehensive genomic analysis of 289 individuals from India, and concluded the variant to occur at a similar frequency in MODY cases and in the general population (Mohan_2018). Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant affects PDX1 transactivation (Cockburn_2004, Liu_2006). Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign/likely benign and one ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites it as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Description

DNA sequence analysis of the PDX1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.670G>A, in exon 2 that results in an amino acid change, p.Glu224Lys. This sequence change has been previously identified in the heterozygous state in individuals with diabetes (PMID: 14764823, 28095440). In vitro functional studies have indicated that this variant may reduce transactivation potential of IPF-1 (PMID: 17126328). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.996% in the South Asian subpopulation (dbSNP rs137852787). The p.Glu224Lys change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the PDX1 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Glu224Lys substitution. Due to the high population frequency, insufficient evidences, and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Glu224Lys change remains unknown at this time.
