ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Variant Curation Expert Panel RCV002468567 SCV002764626 benign Monogenic diabetes 2022-12-01 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.1522G>A variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, causes an amino acid change of glutamic acid to lysine at codon 508 (p.(Glu508Lys)) of transcript NM_000545.8. This variant has a Popmax Filtering allele frequency in gnomAD 2.1.1 of 0.002884, which is greater than the MDEP threshold for BA1 (greater than or equal to 0.0001) (BA1). This variant has been found in many unrelated individuals who do not have autoimmune or absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PMID: 24915262); however, PS4 cannot be applied because the variant MAF in gnomAD is above the ClinGen MDEP PM2_Supporting. Functional studies demonstrated the p.Glu508Lys protein has transactivation activity between 40-80%, which is less severe than typical HNF1A-MODY-causing variants (below 40%) (PMID: 32910913, 27899486). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as benign for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP: BA1 (specification version 1.2, approved 6/5/21). However, this variant is an established risk allele for type 2 diabetes in individuals of Mexican ancestry (PMID: 24915262). These individuals do not respond to treatment with sulfonylureas, unlike individuals with HNF1A-MODY (PMID: 29844095).

Ambry Genetics RCV002390275 SCV002708184 likely benign Maturity onset diabetes mellitus in young 2024-03-27 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001640109 SCV003800818 likely benign not specified 2023-01-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: HNF1A c.1522G>A (p.Glu508Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1, beta isoform, C-terminal domain (IPR006897) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00048 in 251600 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency is approximately 19 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in HNF1A causing Maturity Onset Diabetes Of The Young 3 phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1522G>A has been reported in the literature as a non-significant risk factor in association with Type 2 diabetes (95% CI overlaps 1) (example, Estrada_2014). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Maturity Onset Diabetes Of The Young 3. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Variant Curation Expert Panel) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (B/LB, n=3 including the expert panel; VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
