ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Variant Curation Expert Panel RCV003325990 SCV004032090 benign Monogenic diabetes 2023-08-13 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.649G>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, causes an amino acid change of aspartic acid to asparagine at codon 217 (p.(Asp217Asn)) of [transcript, e.g. NM_000545.8]. NM_000162.5. GCK is defined by the ClinGen MDEP as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and has pathogenic missense variants as a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant has a Popmax Filtering allele frequency in gnomAD 2.1.1 of 0.00005377, which is greater than the MDEP threshold for BS1 (≥0.0.00004) (BS1). This variant was identified in four unrelated individuals with non-autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes; however, PS4 cannot be applied because the variant MAF in gnomAD is above the ClinGen MDEP PM2_Supporting cutoff (internal lab contributors). Additionally, this variant was identified in an individual with a normal fasting glucose (BS2) (internal lab contributor). This variant has been observed in cis with the variant GCK c.781G>A (p.Gly261Arg) (PMID:22611063), which is classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen MDEP (BP2). Lastly, functional studies suggest that the p.Asp217Asn protein has increased activity (RAI=2.0); however, the thermostability and protein interactions were not analyzed and therefore neither PS3 or BS3 can be applied (PMID 22611063). In summary, c.649G>A meets the criteria to be classified as benign for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3.0, approved 8/11/2023): BS1, BS2, BP2, PP2.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001164187 SCV001326294 uncertain significance Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001164188 SCV001326295 uncertain significance Transient Neonatal Diabetes, Recessive 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001164189 SCV001326296 uncertain significance Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001164190 SCV001326297 uncertain significance Hyperinsulinism due to glucokinase deficiency 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001315293 SCV001505862 uncertain significance not provided 2023-05-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing 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. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on GCK function (PMID: 22611063). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 911631). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant maturity-onset diabetes of the young (PMID: 22611063, 27913849). This variant is present in population databases (rs147065275, gnomAD 0.3%). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 217 of the GCK protein (p.Asp217Asn).

Ambry Genetics RCV004629472 SCV005126413 likely benign Maturity onset diabetes mellitus in young 2024-06-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
