Description
The c.1133C>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of alanine to aspartic acid at codon 378 (p.(Ala378Asp)) of NM_000162.5. GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.984, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant was identified in 5-6 unrelated individuals with hyperglycemia (PS4; internal lab contributors). The variant was identified in an individual with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-MODY (FBG 5.5-8 mol/L and HbA1c 5.6-7.6% and three-generation, dominant family history of diabetes or hyperglycemia (PP4_Moderate; internal lab contributors). 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 (internal lab contributors). Two other missense variants, c.1133C>T (p.Ala378Val) and c.1132G>A (p.Ala378Thr) have been interpreted as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP, and p.Ala378Asp has an greater Grantham distance than p.Ala378Val and p.Ala378Thr (PM5_Strong). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GCK-MODY. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP VCEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): PP2, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PS4_moderate, PM5_Strong.
