RCV003322274 | SCV004026569 | pathogenic | Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 1 | 2023-08-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | The p.Ala380ProfsTer8 variant in ABCC8 has been reported in 1 individual, in the homozygous state, with congenital hyperinsulinism (PMID: 32027066), and has been identified in 0.003% (1/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs1564964065). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 380 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ABCC8 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM3_supporting (Richards 2015). |
