Description
The c.526+1G>A variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, is predicted to remove a canonical splice donor site in intron 2 of NM_000545.8. This variant is predicted to cause loss of part of exon 2, leading to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1, PMID: 23348805). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant was identified in 12 unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PS4; PMIDs: 21242637, internal lab contributors), including 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, internal lab contributor). This variant segregated with diabetes, with six informative meioses in five families with MODY (PP1_Strong, internal lab collaborators). In summary, c.526+1G>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 2.1.1, approved 8/11/2023): PVS1, PP1_Strong, PS4, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.
