Description

The c.109A>G variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of methionine to valine at codon 37 (p.(Met37Val)) of NM_000162.5.This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-MODY (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6% and negative antibodies) (PP4_Moderate; internal lab contributor). 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 0.8759, which is greater than the MDEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant, c.110T>G (p.Met37Arg) has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP but has a greater Grantham distance than p.Met37Val (PM5_Supporting). This variant segregated with diabetes with two informative meioses in a single family; however, this does not meet the thresholds for PP1 set by the ClinGen MDEP (PMID: 27236918; internal lab contributor). In summary, c.109A>G meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): PP4_Moderate, PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.

Description

Variant summary: GCK c.109A>G (p.Met37Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Hexokinase, N-terminal domain (IPR022672) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251464 control chromosomes. c.109A>G has been observed in at-least one family with three affected individuals that reportedly fulfill the criteria for GCK associated Monogenic Diabetes (antibody negative, personel correspondence with MODY Expert Panel). However, to our knowledge, it has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Monogenic Diabetes. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A different variant located at the same codon, namely c.109A>G (p.Met37Val) has been classified as pathogenic by the Clingen MODY expert panel (ClinVar ID 2578357) supporting a critical relevance of this Methionine reside to GCK protein function. No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above and in accordance with the Clingen MODY specifications, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
