Transient diabetes mellitus with ABCC8 variant successfully treated with sulfonylurea: Two case reports and review of literature. World J Diabetes 2024; 15:1811-1819. [PMID: 39192869 PMCID: PMC11346097 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v15.i8.1811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is a rare form of diabetes mellitus that usually presents within the first 6 mo of life. Patients often enter remission within several months, although relapse can occur later in life. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene, which encodes the sulfonylurea receptor 1 of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel in pancreatic beta cells, are associated with TNDM and permanent neonatal diabetes. This study describes a novel de novo c.3880C>T heterozygous ABCC8 variant that causes TNDM and can be treated with sulf-onylurea therapy. CASE SUMMARY We retrospectively analyzed 2 Chinese patients with TNDM who were diagnosed, treated, or referred for follow-up between September 2017 and September 2023. The patients were tested for mutations using targeted next-generation sequencing. Patients with neonatal diabetes mellitus caused by a c.3880C>T heterozygous missense variant in the ABCC8 gene have not been reported before. Both children had an onset of post-infectious diabetic ketoacidosis, which is worth noting. At a follow-up visit after discontinuing insulin injection, oral glyburide was found to be effective with no adverse reactions. CONCLUSION Early genetic testing of neonatal diabetes mellitus aids in accurate diagnosis and treatment and helps avoid daily insulin injections that may cause pain.

Clinical, glycometric features and treatment in a family with monogenic diabetes due to a new mutation in the insulin gene. ENDOCRINOL DIAB NUTR 2024; 71:77-82.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes caused by changes in the gene that encodes insulin (INS) is a very rare form of monogenic diabetes (<1%). The aim of this work is to describe the clinical and glycaemic control characteristics over time from four members of a family diagnosed with monogenic diabetes with the novel mutation: c.206del,p.(Gly69Aalfs*62) located in exon 3 of the gene INS. 75% are females, with debut in adolescence and negative autoimmunity. In all cases, C-peptide is detectable decades after diagnosis (>0.6ng/ml). Currently, patients are being treated either with insulin in a bolus-basal regimen, oral antidiabetics or hybrid closed loop system. Monogenic diabetes due to mutation in the INS is an entity with heterogeneous presentation, whose diagnosis requires high suspicion and presents an important clinical impact. Given the lack of standards in this regard, therapy must be individualized, although insulin therapy could help preserve beta cell functionality in these subjects.

Abstract
Background Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare form of monogenic diabetes which is diagnosed in the first six months of life. It is often related to genetic mutations; hence, genetic testing is warranted. Here, we present six cases of pancreatic agenesis resulting in neonatal diabetes with PTF1A gene mutation. Methodology This retrospective case series study included six pediatric cases of neonatal diabetes mellitus who are currently following at pediatric endocrinology clinics at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results The study reported six patients with a mean age of eight years who presented with pancreatic agenesis resulting in neonatal diabetes with PTF1A gene mutation. In four patients, there was no evidence of cerebellar agenesis. Conclusions Neonatal diabetes is a challenging disease that must be diagnosed early to prevent subsequent metabolic complications. Genetic testing is recommended in neonates who present with prolonged duration of hyperglycemia. Insulin replacement is the treatment of choice.

Abstract
Today, whole-exome sequencing (WES) is used to conduct the massive screening of structural and regulatory genes in order to identify the allele frequencies of disease-associated polymorphisms in various populations and thus detect pathogenic genetic changes (mutations or polymorphisms) conducive to malfunctional protein sequences. With its extensive capabilities, exome sequencing today allows both the diagnosis of monogenic diseases (MDs) and the examination of seemingly healthy populations to reveal a wide range of potential risks prior to disease manifestation (in the future, exome sequencing may outpace costly and less informative genome sequencing to become the first-line examination technique). This review establishes the human genetic passport as a new WES-based clinical concept for the identification of new candidate genes, gene variants, and molecular mechanisms in the diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of monogenic, oligogenic, and multifactorial diseases. Various diseases are addressed to demonstrate the extensive potential of WES and consider its advantages as well as disadvantages. Thus, WES can become a general test with a broad spectrum pf applications, including opportunistic screening.

Genetic determinants of type 1 diabetes in individuals with weak evidence of islet autoimmunity at disease onset. Diabetologia 2023; 66:695-708. [PMID: 36692510 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-022-05865-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Islet autoantibodies (AAbs) are detected in >90% of individuals with clinically suspected type 1 diabetes at disease onset. A single AAb, sometimes at low titre, is often detected in some individuals, making their diagnosis uncertain. Type 1 diabetes genetic risk scores (GRS) are a useful tool for discriminating polygenic autoimmune type 1 diabetes from other types of diabetes, particularly the monogenic forms, but testing is not routinely performed in the clinic. Here, we used a type 1 diabetes GRS to screen for monogenic diabetes in individuals with weak evidence of autoimmunity, i.e. with a single AAb at disease onset. METHODS In a pilot study, we genetically screened 142 individuals with suspected type 1 diabetes, 42 of whom were AAb-negative, 27 of whom had a single AAb (single AAb-positive) and 73 of whom had multiple AAbs (multiple AAb-positive) at disease onset. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed in 41 AAb-negative participants, 26 single AAb-positive participants and 60 multiple AAb-positive participants using an analysis pipeline of more than 200 diabetes-associated genes. RESULTS The type 1 diabetes GRS was significantly lower in AAb-negative individuals than in those with a single and multiple AAbs. Pathogenetic class 4/5 variants in MODY or monogenic diabetes genes were identified in 15/41 (36.6%) AAb-negative individuals, while class 3 variants of unknown significance were identified in 17/41 (41.5%). Residual C-peptide levels at diagnosis were higher in individuals with mutations compared to those without pathogenetic variants. Class 3 variants of unknown significance were found in 11/26 (42.3%) single AAb-positive individuals, and pathogenetic class 4/5 variants were present in 2/26 (7.7%) single AAb-positive individuals. No pathogenetic class 4/5 variants were identified in multiple AAb-positive individuals, but class 3 variants of unknown significance were identified in 19/60 (31.7%) patients. Several patients across the three groups had more than one class 3 variant. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These findings provide insights into the genetic makeup of patients who show weak evidence of autoimmunity at disease onset. Absence of islet AAbs or the presence of a single AAb together with a low type 1 diabetes GRS may be indicative of a monogenic form of diabetes, and use of NGS may improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

Abstract
The discovery of the insulin hormone over 100 years ago, and its subsequent therapeutic application, marked a key landmark in the history of medicine and medical research. The many roles insulin plays in cell metabolism and growth have been revealed by extensive investigations into the structure and function of insulin, the insulin tyrosine kinase receptor (IR), as well as the signalling cascades, which occur upon insulin binding to the IR. In this review, the insulin gene mutations identified as causing disease and the structural implications of these mutations will be discussed. Over 100 studies were evaluated by one reviewing author, and over 70 insulin gene mutations were identified. Mutations may impair insulin gene transcription and translation, preproinsulin trafficking and proinsulin sorting, or insulin-IR interactions. A better understanding of insulin gene mutations and the resultant pathophysiology can give essential insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying impaired insulin biosynthesis and insulin-IR interaction.

Abstract
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare type of monogenic diabetes. At present, most published studies have focused on the types of gene mutations associated with NDM and the therapeutic effect of sulfonylureas (SUs) on the disease; few studies on NDM-associated intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) exist. In addition, p.V59M mutations generally lead to intermediate DEND (iDEND: intermediate developmental delay and neonatal diabetes) syndrome without epilepsy. Here, we present a case of a 1-month-old male infant who was diagnosed with NDM caused by a KCNJ11 missense mutation (p.V59M), presenting with cerebral injury. In the early stage of the disease, continuous insulin dose adjustment did not achieve an ideal level of blood glucose. Although blood glucose was subsequently controlled by oral SUs, which were administered after the genetic test result, the patient still displayed epilepsy and developmental delay. In this case report, we present our experience in the treatment of the infant, switching from insulin to oral SUs and we thought that SUs have limited effects on improving the prognosis of neurodevelopmental disturbances in NDM with foci of encephalomalacia. In addition, there may be a relationship between KCNJ11 missense mutations and cerebral injury, and further research must be carried out to confirm these points.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) arises following poor capacity to generate or secrete insulin or insulin resistance; hence insulin production impairment creates the illness. Individuals can control their weight, impulsivity, blood pressure, and blood lipids at the commencement of the disease. A single genetic mutation affects nearly 3% of people with diabetes. Surprisingly, beta cell function is regulated by more than 20 genes. Benefits of genetic diagnosis include improved therapy, better prediction of illness prognosis and progression, genetic counseling, and possibly prevention.
Alpha HNF1 mutations in the early stages may respond to the regimen. Still, most patients need it because they control their blood glucose and will be subject to microvascular or macrovascular complications. In cases where insulin does not control sugar, using low-dose sulfonylureas would be beneficial and lower four times the glucose metabolism of metformin. These patients are susceptible to sulfonylureas and may be treated for years in case of no blood glucose attack complications. The drug will start at one-fourth of the adult dose: MODY1. It is caused by a mutation in the alpha-HNF 4 gene and is relatively uncommon. The same is true, but the threshold for renal excretion is not low, and the incidence of upward alpha-HNF 4 mutations in cases where there is a robust clinical panel for alpha HNF 1 but not confirmed by genetic sequencing should be considered. The disease is also susceptible to sulfonylureas: MODY4 with a mutation in the MODY6 gene, IPF1, with a mutation in MODY7, NeuroD1 is characterized by a carboxy sterilise mutation, which is not common: MODY2. In children and adolescents, an increment in fasting blood glucose of 100 to 150 mg/dl is not typical. The incidence of this condition is usually considered to be type 1 or 2 diabetes, but a large percentage of the above patients are heterozygote individuals, the glucokinase mutations. Specific mutations, including those rare variants in WFS1 and ABCC8 genes, insulin receptor (IR), fructose 6-phosphate aminotransferase (GFPT2), and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), as well as mouse pancreatic β‐cell lines (Min6 and SJ cells), showed that the HDAC4 variant (p. His227Arg) had been directly linked with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2022; 14:842-857. [PMID: 35582103 PMCID: PMC9048536 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v14.i4.842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the third deadliest cancer in the world and ranks second in incidence and mortality of cancers in China. Despite advances in prevention, diagnosis, and therapy, the absolute number of cases is increasing every year due to aging and the growth of high-risk populations, and gastric cancer is still a leading cause of cancer-related death. Gastric cancer is a consequence of the complex interaction of microbial agents, with environmental and host factors, resulting in the dysregulation of multiple oncogenic and tumor-suppressing signaling pathways. Global efforts have been made to investigate in detail the genomic and epigenomic heterogeneity of this disease, resulting in the identification of new specific and sensitive predictive and prognostic biomarkers. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against the HER2 receptor, is approved in the first-line treatment of patients with HER2+ tumors, which accounts for 13%-23% of the gastric cancer population. Ramucirumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGFR2, is currently recommended in patients progressing after first-line treatment. Several clinical trials have also tested novel agents for advanced gastric cancer but mostly with disappointing results, such as anti-EGFR and anti-MET monoclonal antibodies. Therefore, it is still of great significance to screen specific molecular targets for gastric cancer and drugs directed against the molecular targets.
AIM To investigate the effect and mechanism of berberine against tumor growth in gastric cancer xenograft models and to explore the role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α)-WNT5a/β-catenin pathways played in the antitumor effects of berberine.
METHODS MGC803 and SGC7901 subcutaneous xenograft models were established. The control group was intragastrically administrated with normal saline, and the berberine group was administrated intragastrically with 100 mg/kg/d berberine. The body weight of nude mice during the experiment was measured to assess whether berberine has any adverse reaction. The volume of subcutaneous tumors during this experiment was recorded to evaluate the inhibitory effect of berberine on the growth of MGC803 and SGC7901 subcutaneous transplantation tumors. Polymerase chain reaction assays were conducted to evaluate the alteration of transcriptional expression of HNF4α, WNT5a and β-catenin in tumor tissues and liver tissues from the MGC803 and SGC7901 xenograft models. Western blotting and IHC were performed to assess the protein expression of HNF4α, WNT5a and β-catenin in tumor tissues and liver tissues from the MGC803 and SGC7901 xenograft models.
RESULTS In the both MGC803 and SGC7901 xenograft tumor models, berberine significantly reduced tumor volume and weight and thus retarded the growth rate of tumors. In the SGC7901 and MGC803 subcutaneously transplanted tumor models, berberine down-regulated the expression of HNF4α, WNT5a and β-catenin in tumor tissues from both transcription and protein levels. Besides, berberine also suppressed the protein expression of HNF4α, WNT5a and β-catenin in liver tissues.
CONCLUSION Berberine retarded the growth of MGC803 and SGC7901 xenograft model tumors, and the mechanism behind these anti-growth effects might be the downregulation of the expression of HNF4α-WNT5a/β-catenin signaling pathways both in tumor tissues and liver tissues of the xenograft models.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monogenic diabetes, a form of diabetes mellitus, is caused by a mutation in a single gene and may account for 1-2% of all clinical forms of diabetes. To date, more than 40 loci have been associated with either isolated or syndromic monogenic diabetes. AREAS COVERED While the request of a genetic test is mandatory for cases with diabetes onset in the first 6 months of life, a decision may be difficult for childhood or adolescent diabetes. In an effort to assist the clinician in this task, we have grouped monogenic diabetes genes according to the age of onset (or incidental discovery) of hyperglycemia and described the additional clinical features found in syndromic diabetes. The therapeutic options available are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION Technical improvements in DNA sequencing allow for rapid, simultaneous analysis of all genes involved in monogenic diabetes, progressively shrinking the area of unsolved cases. However, the complexity of the analysis of genetic data requires close cooperation between the geneticist and the diabetologist, who should play a proactive role by providing a detailed clinical phenotype that might match a specific disease gene.

Abstract
More than 1000 variants of the ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8) gene have been reported in neonatal diabetes mellitus. Up to now only 55 ABCC8 variants were associated with Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young 12 (MODY12). We present a c.3544C>T p.(Arg1182Trp) ABCC8 variant in a 35-year-old women who had pronounced microvascular diabetic complications and a charcot arthropathy necessitating a lower limb amputation. The unusual severity of the disease course prompted us to perform a systematic review of all genetic variants in MODY12. The present mutation has mostly been associated with neonatal diabetes and in only three papers reporting a MODY12. The 55 MODY12 variants show a large clinical heterogeneity, even in relatives with the same mutation, ranging from mild impaired glucose tolerance to severe insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. HbA1c at diagnosis ranged from 5% to 14% and age at diagnosis ranged from 2 to 53 years. However, several case reports lack documentation of diabetic complications. Hence, more detailed reports remain necessary to improve insight in MODY12 pathophysiology and outcome. In this article current data regarding therapeutic management are provided, and key points to consider for the individual patient affected by MODY12 are presented.

Abstract
A heterozygous missense mutation of the islet β cell-enriched MAFA transcription factor (p.Ser64Phe [S64F]) is found in patients with adult-onset β cell dysfunction (diabetes or insulinomatosis), with men more prone to diabetes than women. This mutation engenders increased stability to the unstable MAFA protein. Here, we develop a S64F MafA mouse model to determine how β cell function is affected and find sex-dependent phenotypes. Heterozygous mutant males (MafAS64F/+) display impaired glucose tolerance, while females are slightly hypoglycemic with improved blood glucose clearance. Only MafAS64F/+ males show transiently higher MafA protein levels preceding glucose intolerance and sex-dependent changes to genes involved in Ca2+ signaling, DNA damage, aging, and senescence. MAFAS64F production in male human β cells also accelerate cellular senescence and increase senescence-associated secretory proteins compared to cells expressing MAFAWT. These results implicate a conserved mechanism of accelerated islet aging and senescence in promoting diabetes in MAFAS64F carriers in a sex-biased manner.

Abstract
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is noted as a genetic, heterogeneous, and rare disease in infants. NDM occurs due to a single-gene mutation in neonates. A common source for developing NDM in an infant is the existence of mutations/variants in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes, encoding the subunits of the voltage-dependent potassium channel. Both KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes are useful in diagnosing monogenic diabetes during infancy. Genetic analysis was previously performed using first-generation sequencing techniques, such as DNA-Sanger sequencing, which uses chain-terminating inhibitors. Sanger sequencing has certain limitations; it can screen a limited region of exons in one gene, but it cannot screen large regions of the human genome. In the last decade, first generation sequencing techniques have been replaced with second-generation sequencing techniques, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), which sequences nucleic-acids more rapidly and economically than Sanger sequencing. NGS applications are involved in whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), and targeted gene panels. WES characterizes a substantial breakthrough in human genetics. Genetic testing for custom genes allows the screening of the complete gene, including introns and exons. The aim of this review was to confirm if the 22 genetic variations previously documented to cause NDM by Sanger sequencing could be detected using second generation sequencing techniques. The author has cross-checked global studies performed in NDM using NGS, ES/WES, WGS, and targeted gene panels as second-generation sequencing techniques; WES confirmed the similar variants, which have been previously documented with Sanger sequencing. WES is documented as a powerful tool and WGS as the most comprehensive test for verified the documented variants, as well as novel enhancers. This review recommends for the future studies should be performed with second generation sequencing techniques to identify the verified 22 genetic and novel variants by screening in NDM (PNDM or TNMD) children.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has a multifactorial autoimmune etiology, involving environmental prompts and polygenic predisposition. We hypothesized that pancreata from individuals with and at risk for T1D would exhibit dysregulated expression of genes associated with monogenic forms of diabetes caused by nonredundant single-gene mutations. Using a "monogenetic transcriptomic strategy," we measured the expression of these genes in human T1D, autoantibody-positive (autoantibody+), and control pancreas tissues with real-time quantitative PCR in accordance with the Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments (MIQE) guidelines. Gene and protein expression was visualized in situ with use of immunofluorescence, RNAscope, and confocal microscopy. Two dozen monogenic diabetes genes showed altered expression in human pancreata from individuals with T1D versus unaffected control subjects. Six of these genes also saw dysregulation in pancreata from autoantibody+ individuals at increased risk for T1D. As a subset of these genes are related to cellular stress responses, we measured integrated stress response (ISR) genes and identified 20 with altered expression in T1D pancreata, including three of the four eIF2α-dependent kinases. Equally intriguing, we observed significant repression of the three arms of the ISR in autoantibody+ pancreata. Collectively, these efforts suggest monogenic diabetes and ISR genes are dysregulated early in the T1D disease process and likely contribute to the disorder's pathogenesis.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) has about a dozen known causal genes to date, the most common ones being HNF1A, HNF4A, HNF1B and GCK. The phenotype of this clinically and genetically heterogeneous form of diabetes depends on the gene in which the patient has the mutation. We have tested 450 Hungarian index patients with suspected MODY diagnosis with Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing and found a roughly 30% positivity rate. More than 70% of disease-causing mutations were found in the GCK gene, about 20% in the HNF1A gene and less than 10% in other MODY-causing genes. We found 8 pathogenic and 9 likely pathogenic mutations in the HNF1A gene in a total of 48 patients and family members. In the case of HNF1A-MODY, the recommended first-line treatment is low dose sulfonylurea but according to our data, the majority of our patients had been on unnecessary insulin therapy at the time of requesting their genetic testing. Our data highlights the importance of genetic testing in the diagnosis of MODY and the establishment of the MODY subtype in order to choose the most appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adolescents has become an increasing health concern throughout the world and its prevention and screening should be implemented in pediatric care. As clinical features at presentation, in some cases can be similar to type 1 diabetes and family history can be in favour of a monogenic form of diabetes, it is pivotal for physicians to be aware of youth-onset T2D specificities to ensure an accurate diagnosis. The global increase of overweight and obesity can complicate the diagnostic process and makes it essential to apply a systematic approach to each new diagnosis. Microvascular complications may be present at the time of diagnosis and chronic complications are frequent and need to be screened regularly. Regular screening of comorbidities should also be performed. Childhood T2D should be followed up by pediatric diabetes units to avoid diagnostic errors and delay in care. A multidisciplinary approach, by an experienced team, is pivotal to provide treatment options targeting the unique needs of pediatric patients. Treatment programs must include the whole family and address all the aspects of the care (lifestyle, pharmacological therapy, psychological aspects, complications and comorbidities). An organized process of transition to adult care is essential.

Abstract
Background While insulin has been central to the pathophysiology and treatment of patients with diabetes for the last 100 years, it has only been since 2007 that genetic variation in the INS gene has been recognised as a major cause of monogenic diabetes. Both dominant and recessive mutations in the INS gene are now recognised as important causes of neonatal diabetes and offer important insights into both the structure and function of insulin. It is also recognised that in rare cases, mutations in the INS gene can be found in patients with diabetes diagnosed outside the first year of life. Scope of Review This review examines the genetics and clinical features of monogenic diabetes resulting from INS gene mutations from the first description in 2007 and includes information from 389 patients from 292 families diagnosed in Exeter with INS gene mutations. We discuss the implications for diagnosing and treating this subtype of monogenic diabetes. Major Conclusions The dominant mutations in the INS gene typically affect the secondary structure of the insulin protein, usually by disrupting the 3 disulfide bonds in mature insulin. The resulting misfolded protein results in ER stress and beta-cell destruction. In contrast, recessive INS gene mutations typically result in no functional protein being produced due to reduced insulin biosynthesis or loss-of-function mutations in the insulin protein. There are clinical differences between the two genetic aetiologies, between the specific mutations, and within patients with identical mutations. Dominant and recessive mutations in the insulin (INS) gene are important causes of neonatal diabetes. Associated phenotypes are variable in terms of age at diabetes onset, birth weight and treatment requirements. Dominant mutations affect the secondary structure of the insulin protein, resulting in beta-cell ER stress and destruction. Recessive mutations result in reduced insulin biosynthesis or loss-of-function mutations of the insulin protein. The studies of these forms of diabetes offer important insights into the structure, biosynthesis and secretion of insulin.

Abstract
The kidney is an organ of key relevance to blood pressure (BP) regulation, hypertension and antihypertensive treatment. However, genetically mediated renal mechanisms underlying susceptibility to hypertension remain poorly understood. We integrated genotype, gene expression, alternative splicing and DNA methylation profiles of up to 430 human kidneys to characterize the effects of BP index variants from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on renal transcriptome and epigenome. We uncovered kidney targets for 479 (58.3%) BP-GWAS variants and paired 49 BP-GWAS kidney genes with 210 licensed drugs. Our colocalization and Mendelian randomization analyses identified 179 unique kidney genes with evidence of putatively causal effects on BP. Through Mendelian randomization, we also uncovered effects of BP on renal outcomes commonly affecting patients with hypertension. Collectively, our studies identified genetic variants, kidney genes, molecular mechanisms and biological pathways of key relevance to the genetic regulation of BP and inherited susceptibility to hypertension.

Abstract
CONTEXT Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 8 is a rare form of monogenic diabetes characterized by a mutation in CEL (carboxyl ester lipase) gene, which leads to exocrine pancreas dysfunction, followed by β cell failure. Induced pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into functional β cells. Thus, β cells from MODY8 patients can be generated in vitro and used for disease modelling and cell replacement therapy. METHODS A genetic study was performed in a patient suspected of monogenic diabetes. RESULTS A novel heterozygous pathogenic variant in CEL (c.1818delC) was identified in the proband, allowing diagnosis of MODY8. Three MODY8-iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) clones were reprogrammed from skin fibroblasts of the patient, and their pluripotency and genomic stability confirmed. All 3 MODY8-iPSC differentiated into β cells following developmental stages. MODY8-iPSC-derived β cells were able to secrete insulin upon glucose dynamic perifusion. The CEL gene was not expressed in iPSCs nor during any steps of endocrine differentiation. CONCLUSION iPSC lines from a MODY8 patient with a novel pathogenic variant in the CEL gene were generated; they are capable of differentiation into endocrine cells, and β cell function is preserved in mutated cells. These results set the basis for in vitro modelling of the disease and potentially for autologous β cell replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are found to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the molecular pathogenesis of these mutations in T2DM is still poorly understood. METHODS In this study, we report here the molecular features of two Han Chinese families with maternally transmitted T2DM. The matrilineal relatives are undergoing clinical, biochemical, genetic evaluations, and molecular analysis. Furthermore, the entire mitochondrial genomes of these matrilineal relatives are screened by PCR-Sanger sequencing. RESULTS The age at onset of T2DM of these participants varies from 28 to 71 years, with an average of 43 years. Molecular analysis of mitochondrial genomes identifies the existence of ND1 T3394C mutation in both families, together with sets of variants belonging to mitochondrial haplogroup Y2 and M9a. The m.T3394C mutation is localized at very conserved tyrosine at position 30 of ND1, may result the failure in ND1 mRNA metabolism, and lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, sequence analysis of matrilineal relatives in Family 1 identifies the m.A14693G mutation which occurs in the TΨC-loop of tRNAGlu (position 54), and is critical to the structural formation and stabilization of this tRNA. Thus, m.A14693G mutation may cause the impairment in tRNA metabolism, thereby worsens the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by ND1 T3394C mutation. However, no functional mtDNA variants are identified in Family 2 which suggest that mitochondrial haplogroup may not play an important role in diabetes expression. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that mitochondrial ND1 T3394C mutation is involved in the pathogenesis of maternally inherited T2DM in these families.

Abstract
Monogenetic forms of diabetes represent 1%-5% of all diabetes cases and are caused by mutations in a single gene. These mutations, that affect genes involved in pancreatic β-cell development, function and survival, or insulin regulation, may be dominant or recessive, inherited or de novo. Most patients with monogenic diabetes are very commonly misdiagnosed as having type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The severity of their symptoms depends on the nature of the mutation, the function of the affected gene and, in some cases, the influence of additional genetic or environmental factors that modulate severity and penetrance. In some patients, diabetes is accompanied by other syndromic features such as deafness, blindness, microcephaly, liver and intestinal defects, among others. The age of diabetes onset may also vary from neonatal until early adulthood manifestations. Since the different mutations result in diverse clinical presentations, patients usually need different treatments that range from just diet and exercise, to the requirement of exogenous insulin or other hypoglycemic drugs, e.g., sulfonylureas or glucagon-like peptide 1 analogs to control their glycemia. As a consequence, awareness and correct diagnosis are crucial for the proper management and treatment of monogenic diabetes patients. In this chapter, we describe mutations causing different monogenic forms of diabetes associated with inadequate pancreas development or impaired β-cell function and survival, and discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in β-cell demise.

Abstract
Background Dent disease is an X-linked form of progressive renal disease. This rare disorder was characterized by hypercalciuria, low molecular weight (LMW) proteinuria and proximal tubular dysfunction, caused by pathogenic variants in CLCN5 (Dent disease 1) or OCRL (Dent disease 2) genes. Fanconi syndrome is a consequence of decreased water and solute resorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Fanconi syndrome caused by proximal tubular dysfunction such as Dent disease might occur in early stage of the disease. Case presentation Three cases reported in this study were 3-, 10- and 14-year-old boys, and proteinuria was the first impression in all the cases. All the boys presented with LMW proteinuria and elevated urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Case 1 revealed a pathogenic variant in exon 11 of CLCN5 gene [NM_001127899; c.1444delG] and a nonsense mutation at nucleotide 1509 [p.L503*], and he was diagnosed as Dent disease 1. Case 2 carried a deletion of exon 3 and 4 of OCRL1 gene [NM_000276.4; c.120-238delG…A] and a nonsense mutation at nucleotide 171 in exon 5 [p.E57*], and this boy was diagnosed as Dent disease 2. Genetic analysis of Case 3 showed a missense mutation located in exon 2 of HNF4A gene [EF591040.1; c.253C > T; p.R85W] which is responsible for Fanconi syndrome. All of three pathogenic variants were not registered in GenBank. Conclusions Urine protein electrophoresis should be performed for patients with proteinuria. When patients have LMW proteinuria and/or hypercalciuria, definite diagnosis and identification of Dent disease and Fanconi syndrome requires further genetic analyses.

Abstract
All forms of diabetes mellitus involve the loss or dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells, with the former predominating in type 1 diabetes and the latter in type 2 diabetes. Deeper understanding of the coupling mechanisms that link glucose metabolism in these cells to the control of insulin secretion is therefore likely to be essential to develop new therapies. Beta cells display a remarkable metabolic specialisation, expressing high levels of metabolic sensing enzymes, including the glucose transporter GLUT2 (encoded by SLC2A2) and glucokinase (encoded by GCK). Genetic evidence flowing from both monogenic forms of diabetes and genome-wide association studies for the more common type 2 diabetes, supports the importance for normal glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of metabolic signalling via altered ATP generation, while also highlighting unsuspected roles for Zn2+ storage, intracellular lipid transfer and other processes. Intriguingly, genes involved in non-oxidative metabolic fates of the sugar, such as those for lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA) and monocarboxylate transporter-1 ([MCT-1] SLC16A1), as well as the acyl-CoA thioesterase (ACOT7) and others, are selectively repressed ('disallowed') in beta cells. Furthermore, mutations in genes critical for mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, such as TRL-CAG1-7 encoding tRNALeu, are linked to maternally inherited forms of diabetes. Correspondingly, impaired Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria, or collapse of a normally interconnected mitochondrial network, are associated with defective insulin secretion. Here, we suggest that altered mitochondrial metabolism may also impair beta cell-beta cell communication. Thus, we argue that defective oxidative glucose metabolism is central to beta cell failure in diabetes, acting both at the level of single beta cells and potentially across the whole islet to impair insulin secretion.

Abstract
Congenital diabetes mellitus is a rare disorder characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs shortly after birth. We define "Diabetes of Infancy" if hyperglycemia onset before 6 months of life. From the clinical point of view, we distinguish two main types of diabetes of infancy: transient (TNDM), which remits spontaneously, and permanent (PNDM), which requires lifelong treatment. TNDM may relapse later in life. About 50% of cases are transient (TNDM) and 50% permanent. Clinical manifestations include severe intrauterine growth retardation, hyperglycemia and dehydration. A wide range of different associated clinical signs including facial dysmorphism, deafness and neurological, cardiac, kidney or urinary tract anomalies are reported. Developmental delay and learning difficulties may also be observed. In this paper we review all the causes of congenital diabetes and all genes and syndromes involved in this pathology. The discovery of the pathogenesis of most forms of congenital diabetes has made it possible to adapt the therapy to the diagnosis and in the forms of alteration of the potassium channels of the pancreatic Beta cells the switch from insulin to glibenclamide per os has greatly improved the quality of life. Congenital diabetes, although it is a very rare form, has been at the must of research in recent years especially for pathogenesis and pharmacogenetics. The most striking difference compared to the more frequent autoimmune diabetes in children (type 1 diabetes) is the possibility of treatment with hypoglycemic agents and the apparent lower frequency of chronic complications.

Abstract
Introduction: Monogenic diabetes is a subset of diabetes characterized by the presence of single-gene mutations and includes neonatal diabetes mellitus and maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Due to the genetic etiology of monogenic diabetes, molecular genetic testing can be used for diagnosis and classification.Areas covered: In addition to first-generation molecular analyses, many large clinical laboratories are transitioning to multiplexed next-generation sequencing panels to simultaneously assess patients for several of the most common genetic mutations seen in monogenic diabetes. With expanded development and adoption of next-generation sequencing panels, particularly in reference to laboratory settings, diagnostic testing for monogenic diabetes has the potential to be more accessible to the patient population.Expert opinion: Although molecular diagnostic testing is becoming increasingly prevalent, it is crucial to identify patients most likely to benefit from molecular testing versus those whose disease can be diagnosed and characterized with more traditional, less costly laboratory analyses. The continuous evolution of clinical molecular testing will be echoed in the clinical laboratory analysis of monogenic diabetes and continue to improve the diagnostic capabilities for monogenic diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The present study reports on the frequency and the spectrum of genetic variants causative of monogenic diabetes in Russian children with non-type 1 diabetes mellitus. The present study included 60 unrelated Russian children with non-type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosed before the age of 18 years. Genetic variants were screened using whole-exome sequencing (WES) in a panel of 35 genes causative of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and transient or permanent neonatal diabetes. Verification of the WES results was performed using PCR-direct sequencing. A total of 38 genetic variants were identified in 33 out of 60 patients (55%). The majority of patients (27/33, 81.8%) had variants in MODY-related genes: GCK (n=19), HNF1A (n=2), PAX4 (n=1), ABCC8 (n=1), KCNJ11 (n=1), GCK+HNF1A (n=1), GCK+BLK (n=1) and GCK+BLK+WFS1 (n=1). A total of 6 patients (6/33, 18.2%) had variants in MODY-unrelated genes: GATA6 (n=1), WFS1 (n=3), EIF2AK3 (n=1) and SLC19A2 (n=1). A total of 15 out of 38 variants were novel, including GCK, HNF1A, BLK, WFS1, EIF2AK3 and SLC19A2. To summarize, the present study demonstrates a high frequency and a wide spectrum of genetic variants causative of monogenic diabetes in Russian children with non-type 1 diabetes mellitus. The spectrum includes previously known and novel variants in MODY-related and unrelated genes, with multiple variants in a number of patients. The prevalence of GCK variants indicates that diagnostics of monogenic diabetes in Russian children may begin with testing for MODY2. However, the remaining variants are present at low frequencies in 9 different genes, altogether amounting to ~50% of the cases and highlighting the efficiency of using WES in non-GCK-MODY cases.

The clinical and genetic characteristics of permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM) in the state of Qatar. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019; 7:e00753. [PMID: 31441606 PMCID: PMC6785445 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Revised: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 04/27/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare condition that occurs within the first six months of life. Permanent NDM (PNDM) is caused by mutations in specific genes that are known for their expression at early and/or late stages of pancreatic beta‐ cell development, and are either involved in beta‐cell survival, insulin processing, regulation, and release. The native population in Qatar continues to practice consanguineous marriages that lead to a high level of homozygosity. To our knowledge, there is no previous report on the genomics of NDM among the Qatari population. The aims of the current study are to identify patients with NDM diagnosed between 2001 and 2016, and examine their clinical and genetic characteristics. Methods To calculate the incidence of PNDM, all patients with PNDM diagnosed between 2001 and 2016 were compared to the total number of live births over the 16‐year‐period. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) was used to investigate the genetic etiology in the PNDM cohort. Results PNDM was diagnosed in nine (n = 9) patients with an estimated incidence rate of 1:22,938 live births among the indigenous Qatari. Seven different mutations in six genes (PTF1A, GCK, SLC2A2, EIF2AK3, INS, and HNF1B) were identified. In the majority of cases, the genetic etiology was part of a previously identified autosomal recessive disorder. Two novel de novo mutations were identified in INS and HNF1B. Conclusion Qatar has the second highest reported incidence of PNDM worldwide. A majority of PNDM cases present as rare familial autosomal recessive disorders. Pancreas associated transcription factor 1a (PTF1A) enhancer deletions are the most common cause of PNDM in Qatar, with only a few previous cases reported in the literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Next generation sequencing (NGS) methods to diagnose maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), a monogenic autosomal dominant cause of diabetes, do not typically detect large-scale copy number variations (CNVs). New techniques may allow assessment for CNVs using output data from targeted NGS, without requiring additional sequencing. Using this technique, two kindreds of patients presenting with features of MODY were found to bear the same heterozygous large-scale deletion in GCK. METHODS Patients suspected of having MODY but with negative targeted NGS pathogenic variant calling were reanalyzed using the CNV caller tool (VarSeq v1.4.3). Two patients were identified as having a possible heterozygous whole exon deletion affecting exon 1 of GCK. For confirmation and determination of the exact breakpoints, whole exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing were used. Familial samples from both affected and nonaffected first-degree relatives were then analyzed for each proband. RESULTS A heterozygous whole-exon deletion spanning 4763 bp affecting the entire exon 1 of GCK was detected in two apparently unrelated patients with clinical features of MODY. This deletion showed segregation concordance across generations in affected and nonaffected family members. CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm the utility of applying the CNV caller tool to screen for CNVs in GCK from NGS data. In so doing, we identified a deletion of exon 1 of GCK as likely causal for MODY. Our data indicate that incorporating CNV analysis routinely when assessing for MODY via targeted NGS may increase diagnostic yield and reduce false negative genetic testing rates.
