Abstract

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare genetic condition that affects children, adolescents, and adults. Studies have shown that genetic changes in the gene are associated with MODY-3. However, most of the causative variants and the molecular mechanisms remain underexplored. This study aims to better understand MODY-3 by investigating HNF1A-missense variants with clinical uncertainty. Various bioinformatics tools were utilised to address the clinical uncertainty of missense variants in the gene that have not been linked with HNF1A-related conditions, sourced from the Genome Aggregation Database (GnomAD v4.1.0). Among the clinically uncertain 2444 variants, only 138 were classified as missense with clinically uncertain significance. Results show that four variants (Arg168Cys, Glu275Ala, Gly375Asp and Val411Phe) were consistently predicted as pathogenic by all tools. The allele frequency (AF) of the commonly predicted disease-causing variants was very low in the global population. The assessment of the secondary structure of filtered variants indicates that variants (Arg168Cys and Glu275Ala) are located in the helical region of the HNF1A protein. At the same time (Gly375Asp and Val411Phe) are found in the protein's coil, suggesting structural changes at the site of variations. The prediction of protein stability was conducted using I-Mutant and MuPro. Both tools collectively indicate decreased protein stability for the variants (Arg168Cys, Glu275Ala, Gly375Asp and Val411Phe). Predicting the protein's 3D structure for the HNF1A wild-type and mutants indicates potential structural damages in Arg168Cys and Gly375Asp. Additionally, results show that the amino acids at the variation sites of the variants (Arg168Cys, Glu275Ala, Gly375Asp and Val411Phe) were highly conserved. To conclude, 4 out of the 138 missense variants labelled as uncertain significance were found to be consistently pathogenic using in silico tools in this study. Our findings aim to support variant interpretation, understand the genotype-phenotype association of diabetes, and provide better healthcare services for patients with diabetes.

摘要

青少年发病的成年型糖尿病(MODY)是一种罕见的遗传病,影响儿童、青少年和成年人。研究表明,该基因的遗传变化与MODY-3相关。然而,大多数致病变异和分子机制仍未得到充分探索。本研究旨在通过调查具有临床不确定性的肝细胞核因子1A(HNF1A)错义变异,更好地了解MODY-3。利用各种生物信息学工具来解决来自基因组聚合数据库(GnomAD v4.1.0)中与HNF1A相关疾病无关的基因错义变异的临床不确定性。在2444个临床不确定变异中,只有138个被归类为意义不确定的错义变异。结果显示,所有工具均一致预测4个变异(Arg168Cys、Glu275Ala、Gly375Asp和Val411Phe)具有致病性。常见的预测致病变异的等位基因频率(AF)在全球人群中非常低。对筛选出的变异的二级结构评估表明,变异(Arg168Cys和Glu275Ala)位于HNF1A蛋白的螺旋区域。同时(Gly375Asp和Val411Phe)位于蛋白质的卷曲区域,表明变异位点存在结构变化。使用I-Mutant和MuPro进行蛋白质稳定性预测。两种工具共同表明变异(Arg168Cys、Glu275Ala、Gly375Asp和Val411Phe)的蛋白质稳定性降低。预测HNF1A野生型和突变体的蛋白质三维结构表明,Arg168Cys和Gly375Asp存在潜在的结构损伤。此外,结果表明,变异(Arg168Cys、Glu275Ala、Gly375Asp和Val411Phe)变异位点的氨基酸高度保守。总之,本研究使用计算机工具发现,138个被标记为意义不确定的错义变异中有4个始终具有致病性。我们的研究结果旨在支持变异解读,理解糖尿病的基因型-表型关联,并为糖尿病患者提供更好的医疗服务。
