Description

The c.598C>T variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, causes an amino acid change of arginine to tryptophan at codon 200 (p.(Arg200Trp)) of NM_000545.8. This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.775, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3) and is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant, c.599G>A, p.(Arg200Gln), has been interpreted as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP, and p.Arg200Trp has a greater Grantham distance (PM5). This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for HNF1A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF4A, and negative autoantibodies) (PP4_Moderate; PMID: 32238361). This variant was identified in at least ten unrelated individuals with non- autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PS4; PMIDs: 17440016, 9754819, 29927023, 32238361; internal lab contributors). Lastly, this variant segregated with diabetes, with five informative meioses in five families with MODY (PP1_Strong; internal lab contributors). In summary, c.598C>T meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.1, approved 9/30/2021): PP1_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS4, PP4_Moderate, PM5.
