Description
The c.1145G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of cysteine to tyrosine at codon 382 (p.(Cys382Tyr)) of NM_000162.5. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and has pathogenic missense variants as a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.922 which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant was identified in the homozygous state in three individuals with neonatal diabetes and negative testing for ABCC8, KCNJ11, and INS (internal lab contributors). This variant segregated with diabetes, with 3 informative meioses in 1 family with MODY (PP1; internal lab contributors). Another missense variant, c.1144T>C p.Cys382Arg, has been interpreted as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP, and p.Cys382Tyr has a greater Grantham distance (PM5). This variant was identified in 7 unrelated individuals with non- autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PS4; Zubkova N.A et al, World J PM. 2017;1(1):40-48, https://doi.org/10.14341/WJPM9298, internal lab contributors). In summary, c.1145G>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.2.0 approved 6/7/2023): PP1, PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PM5, PP4, PS4.
