ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Variant Curation Expert Panel RCV003399324 SCV004102850 pathogenic Monogenic diabetes 2023-10-13 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.660C>A variant in the glucokinase gene, GCK, results in a premature termination at codon 220 (p.(Cys220Ter)) of NM_000162.5. This variant, located in exon 6 of 10, is predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMID: 9790256). This variant segregated with diabetes/hyperglycemia, with 5 informative meioses in multiple families (PP1_Strong; internal lab contributors). This variant was identified in at least 11 unrelated individuals with hyperglycemia (PS4; PMIDs: 21348868, 3347750, 31638168, 20337973, 12627330, 16602010, internal lab contributors. This variant was identified in at least 2 individuals with a clinical history highly specific for GCK-hyperglycemia (FBG 5.5-8 mmol/L and HbA1c 5.6 - 7.6%) (PP4; internal lab contributors). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, c.660C>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.3.0 approved 8/11/2023): PVS1, PP1_Strong, PS4, PP4, PM2_Supporting.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001527032 SCV001737854 pathogenic Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 2021-05-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: GCK c.660C>A (p.Cys220X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251428 control chromosomes. c.660C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Maturity Onset Diabetes Of The Young 2 (Ziemssen_2002, Pruhova_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Athena Diagnostics RCV001658238 SCV001880736 pathogenic not provided 2023-09-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features of MODY. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org).

Ambry Genetics RCV002368554 SCV002663450 pathogenic Maturity onset diabetes mellitus in young 2021-01-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.C220* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.660C>A), located in coding exon 6 of the GCK gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 660. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with a personal and family history consistent with MODY (Pruhova S et al. Diabetologia, 2003 Feb;46:291-5; Szopa M et al. Pol Arch Med Wewn, 2015 Nov;125:845-51; Glotov OS et al. Mol Med Rep, 2019 Dec;20:4905-4914). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001658238 SCV004295170 pathogenic not provided 2022-12-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1172896). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GCK-related conditions (PMID: 11942313, 26641800, 31638168, 33852230). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys220*) in the GCK gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GCK are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7553875, 9867845, 14578306, 24323243, 25015100).
