Description
DNA sequence analysis of the INSR gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3164C>T, in exon 17 that results in an amino acid change, p.Ala1055Val. The p.Ala1055Val change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the INSR protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Ala1055Val substitution. Experimental studies have demonstrated that this sequence change impacts the function of the INSR protein (PMID: 21869538). This sequence change has been described in the literature in the heterozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with INSR-related disorders (https://abstracts.eurospe.org/hrp/0089/hrp0089p2-p351, PMID: 10733238, 21869538, 34789499). This sequence change has not been described in population databases such as ExAC and gnomAD. Collectively, these evidences indicate this sequence change is likely pathogenic, however, clinical correlation is recommended.
