Description
The p.Ala187Thr (also known as p.Ala188Thr) variant in GCK has been reported in at least 11 individuals with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and segregated with disease in 7 affected individuals from at least 2 families (Bansal 2017 PMID: 29207974, Santan 2017 PMID: 28170077, Capuan 2012 PMID: 22761713, Feigerlova 2006 PMID: 16602010, Mantovani 2003 PMID: 12955723, Barrio 2002 PMID: 12050210, Pruhova 2010 PMID: 20337973, Shimada 1993 PMID: 8314448, Thomson 2003 PMID: 14517956). It has also been identified in 0.005438% (1/18390) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 804849). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this variant impacts protein function (George 2014 PMID: 24578721, Takeda 1993 PMID: 8325892); however, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Additional variants, resulting in different amino acid changes at the same position (e.g., p.A188G, p.A188P, p.A188V) have been reported in association with disease in the literature, supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant MODY. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP1_Strong, PM2, PS4_Moderate, PP3, PS3_Supporting.
