Monogenic Diabetes VCEP

The c.815G>A variant in the HNF1 homeobox A gene, HNF1A, causes an amino acid change of arginine to histidine at codon 272 (p.(Arg272His)) of NM_000545.8. This variant resides in an amino acid within the HNF1α DNA binding domain that directly binds DNA, which is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP (PM1). Also, this variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.961, which is greater than the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3). Additionally, this variant was identified in at least 18 unrelated individuals with non- autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PS4; PMID:31166087, PMID:18003757, PMID:24905847, PMID:31483937, PMID:29439679, PMID:23610083, PMID:21989397, PMID:21395678, PMID:21224407, PMID:15114102, ClinVar ID 14931, internal lab contributors). This variant segregated with diabetes, with 13 informative meioses in multiple families with MODY (PP1_Strong; PMID:15114102, internal lab contributors). Functional studies demonstrated the p.Arg272His protein has transactivation below 40% of wildtype, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMID: 16781669). In summary, c.815G>A meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for monogenic diabetes. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen MDEP (specification version 1.1, approved 9/30/2021): PP1_Strong, PS4, PM1, PP3, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting.

PS3_Supporting

Functional studies demonstrated the p.Arg272His protein has transactivation below 40% of wildtype, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMID:16781669).

Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) showed the p.Arg272His variant has reduced DNA binding activity compared to the normal protein. PubMed:10585442

PP1_Strong

This variant segregated with disease with at least 13 informative meioses in multiple families with MODY (PP1_Strong; PMID:15114102, internal lab contributors).

Family G16, two generations confirmed segregation (can assume father (I-2) had it but he was not tested) PubMed:9032114

PS4

This variant was identified in at least 18 unrelated individuals with non- autoimmune and non-absolute/near-absolute insulin-deficient diabetes (PMID:31166087, PMID:18003757, PMID:24905847, PMID:31483937, PMID:29439679, PMID:23610083, PMID:21989397, PMID:21395678, PMID:21224407, PMID:15114102, ClinVar ID 14931, internal lab contributors)

PP3

This variant is predicted to be deleterious by computational evidence, with a REVEL score of 0.961, which is greater the MDEP VCEP threshold of 0.70 (PP3).

PM1

This variant resides in an amino acid within the HNF1α DNA binding domain that directly binds DNA, which is defined as critical for the protein’s function by the ClinGen MDEP.

Variant is located within helix 3 of the homeodomain DNA binding motif, a part of the domain strictly conserved among all known homeodomain sequences PubMed:15726414

PM2_Supporting

This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting).

PM5

The c.814C>A (p.Arg272Ser) and c.815G>A (p.Arg272Cys) variants have both been interpreted as pathogenic by the MDEP. p.Arg272His has the lowest Grantham score at this locus and was used as the base variant to apply PM5 to other variants at this locus, and therefore PM5 is not applied to p.Arg272His.
