Description
The c.125G>T variant in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha gene, HNF4A, causes an amino acid change of glycine to valine at codon 42 (p.(Gly42Val)) of NM_175914.5. This variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for HNF4A-MODY (MODY probability calculator result >50%, negative genetic testing for HNF1A, and responsive to sulfonylurea) (PP4_Moderate; internal lab contributors). This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.964, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant is located within the DNA binding domain (codons 37-113 of HNF4A), which is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP (PM1_Supporting). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant, c.124G>A p.Gly42Arg, has been classified as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP (PM5_Supporting). In summary, c.125G>T meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.1.0 approved 8/11/2023): PP4_Moderate, PP3, PM1_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.
