Description
The p.Arg1214Gln variant in ABCC8 has been reported in at least 5 individuals with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PMID: 20685672, 15562009, 9618169, 9648840, 14715863, 14692646), and has been identified in 0.005% (1/18394) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs367850779). 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 has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 632619) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp), Kasturba Medical College (Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education), Invitae, Foundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology (FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics), Natera Inc., and Fulgent Genetics. Of the 5 affected individuals, 2 were compound heterozygotes that carried a reported pathogenic variant in trans, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg1214Gln variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 9088, 371380; PMID: 9648840, 14692646). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg1214Gln variant may slightly impact protein function (PMID: 9648840). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_strong, PP3, PM2_supporting, PS3_supporting,(Richards 2015).
