Description
The c.483G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, is a synonymous (silent) variant at codon 161 (p.(Lys161=)) of NM_000162.5. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). It is predicted by SpliceAI to impact splicing (SpliceAI score of 0.85 for donor gain and 0.52 for donor loss, which are greater than the MDEP cutoff of 0.2) (PP3), and there is evidence from RNA studies that this variant results in aberrant splicing, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3; Internal lab contributor). This variant was identified in five unrelated individuals with mildly elevated HbA1c that did not require treatment, and segregated with the phenotype, with four informative meioses in three families (PS4_Moderate, PP1_Strong; PMID: 1956454, Internal lab contributors). In summary, c.483G>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.1, approved 3/23/23): PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS4_Moderate, PP1_Strong, PS3.
