Description
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 453 of the GCK protein (p.Ser453Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) (PMID: 19790256). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GCK protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Ser453 amino acid residue in GCK. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14517956, 16731834, 18399931; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
