Abstract
AIMS Monogenic forms of diabetes that develop with autosomal dominant inheritance are classically aggregated in the Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) categories. Despite increasing awareness, its true prevalence remains largely underestimated. We describe a Portuguese cohort of individuals with suspected monogenic diabetes who were genetically evaluated for MODY-causing genes. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with positive genetic testing for MODY between 2015 and 2021. Automatic sequencing and, in case of initial negative results, next-generation sequencing were performed. Their clinical and molecular characteristics were described. RESULTS Eighty individuals were included, 55 with likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants in one of the MODY genes and 25 MODY-positive family members, identified by cascade genetic testing. The median age at diabetes diagnosis was 23 years, with a median HbA1c of 6.5%. The most frequently mutated genes were identified in HNF1A (40%), GCK (34%) and HNF4A (13%), followed by PDX1, HNF1B, INS, KCNJ11 and APPL1. Thirty-six unique variants were found (29 missense and 7 frameshift variants), of which ten (28%) were novel. CONCLUSIONS Our data highlights the importance of genetic testing in the diagnosis of MODY and the establishment of its subtypes, leading to more personalized treatment and follow-up strategies.

MODY probability calculator utility in individuals' selection for genetic testing: Its accuracy and performance. Endocrinol Diabetes Metab 2022; 5:e00332. [PMID: 35822264 PMCID: PMC9471596 DOI: 10.1002/edm2.332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction MODY probability calculator (MPC) represents an easy‐to‐use tool developed by Exeter University to help clinicians prioritize which individuals should be oriented to genetic testing. We aimed to assess the utility of MPC in a Portuguese cohort with early‐onset monogenic diabetes. Methods This single‐centre retrospective study enrolled 132 participants submitted to genetic testing between 2015 and 2020. Automatic sequencing and, in case of initial negative results, generation sequencing were performed. MODY probability was calculated using the probability calculator available online. Positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the calculator were determined for this cohort. Results Seventy‐three individuals were included according to inclusion criteria: 20 glucokinase (GCK‐MODY); 16 hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF1A‐MODY); 2 hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A‐MODY) and 35 DM individuals with no monogenic mutations found. The median probability score of MODY was significantly higher in monogenic diabetes‐positive subgroup (75.5% vs. 24.2%, p < .001). The discriminative accuracy of the calculator, as expressed by area under the curve, was 75% (95% CI: 64%–85%). In our cohort, the best cut‐off value for the MODY calculator was found to be 36%, with a PPV of 74.4%, NPV of 73.5% and corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 76.2% and 71.4%, respectively. Conclusions In a highly pre‐selected group of probands qualified for genetic testing, the Exeter MODY probability calculator provided a useful tool in individuals' selection for genetic testing, with good discrimination ability under an optimal probability cut‐off of 36%. Further geographical and population adjustments are warranted for general use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We studied a young woman with atypical diabetes associated with mild intellectual disability, lymphedema distichiasis syndrome (LDS) and polymalformative syndrome including distichiasis. We used different genetic tools to identify causative pathogenic mutations and/or copy number variations. RESULTS Although proband's, diabetes mellitus occurred during childhood, type 1 diabetes was unlikely due to the absence of detectable autoimmunity. DNA microarray analysis first identified a de novo, heterozygous deletion at the chr16q24.2 locus. Previously, thirty-three pathogenic or likely pathogenic deletions encompassing this locus have been reported in patients presenting with intellectual deficiency, obesity and/or lymphedema but not with diabetes. Of note, the deletion encompassed two topological association domains, whose one included FOXC2 that is known to be linked with LDS. Via whole-exome sequencing, we found a heterozygous, likely pathogenic variant in WFS1 (encoding wolframin endoplasmic reticulum [ER] transmembrane glycoprotein) which was inherited from her father who also had diabetes. WFS1 is known to be involved in monogenic diabetes. We also found a likely pathogenic variant in USP9X (encoding ubiquitin specific peptidase 9 X-linked) that is involved in X-linked intellectual disability, which was inherited from her mother who had dyscalculia and dyspraxia. CONCLUSIONS Our comprehensive genetic analysis suggested that the peculiar phenotypes of our patient were possibly due to the combination of multiple genetic causes including chr16q24.2 deletion, and two likely pathogenic variants in WFS1 and USP9X.

Abstract
CONTEXT Genes causing familial forms of diabetes mellitus are only partially known. OBJECTIVE We set out to identify the genetic cause of hyperglycemia in multigenerational families with an apparent autosomal dominant form of adult-onset diabetes not due to mutations in known monogenic diabetes genes. METHODS Existing whole-exome sequencing (WES) data were used to identify exonic variants segregating with diabetes in 60 families from the United States and Italy. Functional studies were carried out in vitro (transduced MIN6-K8 cells) and in vivo (Caenorhabditis elegans) to assess the diabetogenic potential of 2 variants in the malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) gene linked with hyperglycemia in 2 of the families. RESULTS A very rare mutation (p.Arg52Cys) in MDH2 strongly segregated with hyperglycemia in 1 family from the United States. An infrequent MDH2 missense variant (p.Val160Met) also showed disease cosegregation in a family from Italy, although with reduced penetrance. In silico, both Arg52Cys and Val160Met were shown to affect MDH2 protein structure and function. In transfected HepG2 cells, both variants significantly increased MDH2 enzymatic activity, thereby decreasing the NAD+/NADH ratio-a change known to affect insulin signaling and secretion. Stable expression of human wild-type MDH2 in MIN6-K8 cell lines enhanced glucose- and GLP-1-stimulated insulin secretion. This effect was blunted by the Cys52 or Met160 substitutions. Nematodes carrying equivalent changes at the orthologous positions of the mdh-2 gene showed impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest a central role of MDH2 in human glucose homeostasis and indicate that gain of function variants in this gene may be involved in the etiology of familial forms of diabetes.

Role of Actionable Genes in Pursuing a True Approach of Precision Medicine in Monogenic Diabetes. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13010117.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes is a genetic disorder caused by one or more variations in a single gene. It encompasses a broad spectrum of heterogeneous conditions, including neonatal diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and syndromic diabetes, affecting 1-5% of patients with diabetes. Some of these variants are harbored by genes whose altered function can be tackled by specific actions ("actionable genes"). In suspected patients, molecular diagnosis allows the implementation of effective approaches of precision medicine so as to allow individual interventions aimed to prevent, mitigate or delay clinical outcomes. This review will almost exclusively concentrate on the clinical strategy that can be specifically pursued in carriers of mutations in "actionable genes", including ABCC8, KCNJ11, GCK, HNF1A, HNF4A, HNF1B, PPARG, GATA4 and GATA6. For each of them we will provide a short background on what is known about gene function and dysfunction. Then, we will discuss how the identification of their mutations in individuals with this form of diabetes, can be used in daily clinical practice to implement specific monitoring and treatments. We hope this article will help clinical diabetologists carefully consider who of their patients deserves timely genetic testing for monogenic diabetes.

Abstract
Monogenic forms of diabetes mellitus may affect a significant number of patients of this disease, and it is an important molecular cause to be investigated. However, studies of the genetic causes of monogenic diabetes, especially in populations with mixed ethnic backgrounds, such as the one in Brazil, are scarce. The aim of this study was to screen several genes associated with monogenic diabetes in fifty-seven Brazilian patients with recurrence of the disease in their families and thirty-four relatives. Inclusion criteria were: Age of onset ≤ 40 years old, BMI < 30 kg/m², at least two affected generations and negative anti-GAD and anti-IA2 antibodies. MODY genes HNF4A, GCK, HNF1A, HNF1B, NEUROD1, KLF11, PAX4, INS, KCNJ11, and MT-TL1 were sequenced by Sanger sequencing. We identified a total of 20 patients with variants, 13 GCK-MODY, four HNF1A-MODY, and one variant in each of the following genes, HNF4A, HNF1B and MT-TL1. Segregation analysis was performed in 13 families. Four variants were novel, two in GCK (p.(Met115Val) [c.343A>G] and p.(Asp365GlufsTer95) [c.1094_1095insGCGA]) and two in HNF1A (p.(Tyr163Ter) [c.489C>G] and p.(Val380CysfsTer39) [c.1136_1137insC]). Here we highlight the importance of screening for monogenic diabetes in admixed populations.

Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2021; 37:e3381. [PMID: 32621647 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2019] [Revised: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to establish a systematic screening strategy to select candidates for genetic testing among patients with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and to accomplish early diagnosis of MODY. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 1478 sporadic patients from the outpatient department of endocrinology. Out of the1478 patients, 1279 participants were successfully screened according to the "AACM" strategy, which includes the age of onset, autoantibody to islet antigen, C-peptide and metabolic syndrome. Another six probands and their families who fulfilled the common clinical criteria for MODY were also examined for causative gene mutations. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to examine the mutations. RESULTS A total of 24 out of 1279 sporadic patients with newly diagnosed diabetes were eligible for genetic testing. Mutations were found in 4/24 participants in the cohort, as well as in 2/6 pedigrees. A likely pathogenic alteration, a likely benign alteration and three alterations with uncertain significance were identified with WES. Most of the mutant genes recognised in our trial were not the most common causative genes of MODY, and all of the mutations were specifically reported in Asian patients only, suggesting a unique genetic background of MODY in different ethnicities. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic study of MODY in a new-onset diabetes cohort, MODY cases were incorrectly diagnosed as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), suggesting that an observant clinician is necessary for early and correct MODY diagnosis. This systematic approach to screening is practical and specific enough to identify patients who are most appropriate for genetic testing.

Abstract
Objective To describe a case of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) to highlight the importance of a correct diabetes diagnosis. Methods We describe a Mexican family misdiagnosed with T1D and T2D. Results A 36-year-old woman with diabetes and adverse outcomes during 2 pregnancies had been diagnosed with T2D 10 years ago. Genetic testing was performed due to clinical and family history, which showed a pathogenic heterozygous variant c.544G>T (p.Val182Leu) in the GCK gene. This mutation was also confirmed in most of the family members who had been diagnosed with diabetes. Conclusion This case highlights the need for a correct diabetes classification. Reassessment of diabetes etiology is justified, especially in individuals with unclear clinical presentation or when family history is suggestive.

Front Genet 2021; 12:535340.

Abstract
Children with rare and common diseases now undergo whole genome sequencing (WGS) in clinical and research contexts. Parents sometimes request access to their child's raw genomic data, to pursue their own analyses or for onward sharing with health professionals and researchers. These requests raise legal, ethical, and practical issues for professionals and parents alike. The advent of widespread WGS in pediatrics occurs in a context where privacy and data protection law remains focused on giving individuals control-oriented rights with respect to their personal information. Acting in their child's stead and in their best interests, parents are generally the ones who will be exercising these informational rights on behalf of the child. In this paper, we map the contours of parental authority to access their child's raw genomic data. We consider three use cases: hospital-based researchers, healthcare professionals acting in a clinical-diagnostic capacity, and "pure" academic researchers at a public institution. Our research seeks to answer two principal questions: Do parents have a right of access to their child's raw WGS data? If so, what are the limits of this right? Primarily focused on the laws of Ontario, Canada's most populous province, with a secondary focus on Canada's three other most populous provinces (Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta) and the European Union, our principal findings include (1) parents have a general right of access to information about their children, but that the access right is more capacious in the clinical context than in the research context; (2) the right of access extends to personal data in raw form; (3) a consideration of the best interests of the child may materially limit the legal rights of parents to access data about their child; (4) the ability to exercise rights of access are transferred from parents to children when they gain decision-making capacity in both the clinical and research contexts, but with more nuance in the former. With these findings in mind, we argue that professional guidelines, which are concerned with obligations to interpret and return results, may assist in furthering a child's best interests in the context of legal access rights. We conclude by crafting recommendations for healthcare professionals in the clinical and research contexts when faced with a parental request for a child's raw genomic data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIMS Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic non-autoimmune diabetes with 14 different genetic forms. MODY-related mutations are rarely found in the Tunisian population. Here, we explored MODY related genes sequences among seventeen unrelated Tunisian probands qualifying the MODY clinical criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS The GCK and HNF1A genes were systematically analyzed by direct sequencing in all probands. Then, clinical exome sequencing of 4,813 genes was performed on three unrelated patients. Among them, 130 genes have been reported to be involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism, β-cell development, differentiation and function. All identified variants were analyzed according to their frequencies in the GnomAD database and validated by direct sequencing. RESULTS We identified the previously reported GCK mutation (rs1085307455) in one patient. The clinical features of the MODY2 proband were similar to previous reports. In this study, we revealed rare and novel alterations in GCK (rs780806456) and ABCC8 (rs201499958) genes with uncertain significance. We also found two likely benign alterations in HNF1A (rs1800574) and KLF11 (rs35927125) genes with minor allele frequencies similar to those depicted in public databases. No pathogenic variants have been identified through clinical exome analysis. CONCLUSIONS The most appropriate patients were selected, following a strict clinical screening approach, for genetic testing. However, the known MODY1-13 genes could not explain most of the Tunisian MODY cases, suggesting the involvement of unidentified genes in the majority of Tunisian affected families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of monogenic diabetes has important clinical implications for treatment and health expenditure. However, its prevalence remains to be specified in many countries, particularly from South Europe, North Africa and Middle-East, where non-autoimmune diabetes in young adults is increasing dramatically. AIMS To identify cases of monogenic diabetes in young adults from Mediterranean countries and assess the specificities between countries. METHODS We conducted a transnational multicenter study based on exome sequencing in 204 unrelated patients with diabetes (age-at-diagnosis: 26.1 ± 9.1 years). Rare coding variants in 35 targeted genes were evaluated for pathogenicity. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, chi-squared test and factor analysis of mixed data. RESULTS Forty pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants, 14 of which novel, were identified in 36 patients yielding a genetic diagnosis rate of 17.6%. The majority of cases were due to GCK, HNF1A, ABCC8 and HNF4A variants. We observed highly variable diagnosis rates according to countries, with association to genetic ancestry. Lower body mass index and HbA1c at study inclusion, and less frequent insulin treatment were hallmarks of pathogenic variant carriers. Treatment changes following genetic diagnosis have been made in several patients. CONCLUSIONS Our data from patients in several Mediterranean countries highlight a broad clinical and genetic spectrum of diabetes, showing the relevance of wide genetic testing for personalized care of early-onset diabetes.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified 240 independent loci associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, but this knowledge has not advanced precision medicine. In contrast, the genetic diagnosis of monogenic forms of diabetes (including maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)) are textbook cases of genomic medicine. Recent studies trying to bridge the gap between monogenic diabetes and T2D have been inconclusive. Here, we show a significant burden of pathogenic variants in genes linked with monogenic diabetes among people with common T2D, particularly in actionable MODY genes, thus implying that there should be a substantial change in care for carriers with T2D. We show that, among 74,629 individuals, this burden is probably driven by the pathogenic variants found in GCK, and to a lesser extent in HNF4A, KCNJ11, HNF1B and ABCC8. The carriers with T2D are leaner, which evidences a functional metabolic effect of these mutations. Pathogenic variants in actionable MODY genes are more frequent than was previously expected in common T2D. These results open avenues for future interventions assessing the clinical interest of these pathogenic mutations in precision medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A precision medicine approach is used to improve treatment of patients with monogenic diabetes. Herein, we searched SU efficiency according to the genotype-phenotype correlation, dosage used, and side effects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Systematic review conducted according the PRISMA control criteria identifying relevant studies evaluating the in vivo and in vitro sensitivity of ATP-dependent potassium channels according to the characteristics of genetic mutation. RESULTS Hundred and three selected articles with complete data in 502 cases in whom 413 (82.3%) had mutations in KCNJ11 (#64) and 89 in ABCC8 (# 56). Successful transfer from insulin to SU was achieved in 91% and 86.5% patients, respectively, at a mean age of 36.5 months (0-63 years). Among patients with KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations 64 and 46 were associated with constant success, 5 and 5 to constant failure, and 10 and 4 to variable degrees of reported success rate, respectively. The glibenclamide dosage required for each genotype ranged from 0.017 to 2.8 mg/kg/day. Comparing both the in vivo and in vitro susceptibility results, some mutations appear more sensitive than others to sulfonylurea treatment. Side effects were reported in 17/103 of the included articles: mild gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycaemia were the most common. One premature patient had an ulcerative necrotizing enterocolitis which association with SU is difficult to ascertain. CONCLUSIONS Sulfonylureas are an effective treatment for monogenic diabetes due to KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes mutations. The success of the treatment is conditioned by differences in pharmacogenetics, younger age, pharmacokinetics, compliance, and maximal dose used.

Abstract
MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) is a type of diabetes resulting from a pathogenic effect of gene mutations. Up to date, 13 MODY genes are known. Gene HNF1A is one of the most common causes of MODY diabetes (HNF1A-MODY; MODY3). This gene is polymorphic and more than 1200 pathogenic and non-pathogenic HNF1A variants were described in its UTRs, exons and introns. For HNF1A-MODY, not just gene but also phenotype heterogeneity is typical. Although there are some clinical instructions, HNF1A-MODY patients often do not meet every diagnostic criteria or they are still misdiagnosed as type 1 and type 2 diabetics. There is a constant effort to find suitable biomarkers to help with in distinguishing of MODY3 from Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). DNA sequencing is still necessary for unambiguous confirmation of clinical suspicion of MODY. NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) methods brought discoveries of multiple new gene variants and new instructions for their pathogenicity classification were required. The most actual problem is classification of variants with uncertain significance (VUS) which is a stumbling-block for clinical interpretation. Since MODY is a hereditary disease, DNA analysis of family members is helpful or even crucial. This review is updated summary about HNF1A-MODY genetics, pathophysiology, clinics functional studies and variant classification.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Non-autoimmune monogenic diabetes (MD) in young people shows a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, which is largely explained by multiple genetic etiologies. This review discusses how the application of state-of-the-art genomics research to precision diagnosis of MD, particularly the various subtypes of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), has increasingly informed diabetes precision medicine and patient care throughout life. RECENT FINDINGS Due to extended genetic and clinical heterogeneity of MODY, diagnosis approaches based on next-generation sequencing have been worthwhile to better ascribe a specific subtype to each patient with young-onset diabetes. This guides the best appropriate treatment and clinical follow-up. Early etiological diagnosis of MD and individualized treatment are essential for achieving metabolic targets and avoiding long-term diabetes complications, as well as for drastically decreasing the financial and societal burden of diabetes-related healthcare. Genomic medicine-based practices help to optimize long-term clinical follow-up and patient care management.

Abstract
AIMS HNF1A is a gene coding for the transcription factor HNF1-α, mutated in some forms of MODY and type 2 diabetes mellitus characterized by a strong genetic component. The penetrance of HNF1A variants differs considerably; thus, to assess the genetic risk of diabetes in carrier subjects of a HNF1A mutant allele, a functional characterization of mutant forms is of paramount importance. METHODS The HNF1A gene was sequenced in two patients with partly discordant diabetic phenotype, carrying the p.Pro409His variant. To evaluate the pathogenicity of the variant, we measured the transactivation power of the corresponding P408H HNF1-α mutant mouse form on HNF1-α target promoters. RESULTS We found a lower but detectable activity of transactivation of the mutant form compared with the wild-type form and we excluded mechanisms of protein degradation or nuclear mislocalization. CONCLUSIONS The HNF1A mutation p.Pro409His can be considered a mild variant that confers a moderate risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in heterozygous carriers.

Negative autoimmunity in a Spanish pediatric cohort suspected of type 1 diabetes, could it be monogenic diabetes? PLoS One 2019; 14:e0220634. [PMID: 31365591 PMCID: PMC6668821 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0220634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Monogenic diabetes can be misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes in children. The right diagnosis is crucial for both therapeutic choice and prognosis and influences genetic counseling. The main objective of this study was to search for monogenic diabetes in Spanish pediatric patients suspected of type 1 diabetes with lack of autoimmunity at the onset of the disease. We also evaluated the extra value of ZnT8A in addition to the classical IAA, GADA and IA2A autoantibodies to improve the accuracy of type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Methods Four hundred Spanish pediatric patients with recent-onset diabetes (mean age 8.9 ± 3.9 years) were analyzed for IAA, GADA, IA2A and ZnT8A pancreatic-autoantibodies and HLA-DRB1 alleles. Patients without autoimmunity and those with only ZnT8A positive were screened for 12 monogenic diabetes genes by next generation sequencing. Results ZnT8A testing increased the number of autoantibody-positive patients from 373 (93.3%) to 377 (94.3%). An isolated positivity for ZnT8A allowed diagnosing autoimmune diabetes in 14.8% (4/27) of pediatric patients negative for the rest of the antibodies tested. At least 2 of the 23 patients with no detectable autoimmunity (8%) carried heterozygous pathogenic variants: one previously reported missense variant in the INS gene (p.Gly32Ser) and one novel frameshift variant (p.Val264fs) in the HNF1A gene. One variant of uncertain significance was also found. Carriers of pathogenic variants had HLA-DRB1 risk alleles for autoimmune diabetes and clinical characteristics compatible with type 1 diabetes except for the absence of autoimmunity. Conclusion ZnT8A determination improves the diagnosis of autoimmune diabetes in pediatrics. At least 8% of pediatric patients suspected of type 1 diabetes and with undetectable autoimmunity have monogenic diabetes and can benefit from the correct diagnosis of the disease by genetic study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the initial presentation and clinical course of patients with hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4A‒ and HNF1B‒MODY in a multinational registry. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Within the Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation (DPV) registry, 44 patients with HNF4A- and 35 patients with HNF1B-MODY were characterized and compared with patients <20 years old with type 1 diabetes (T1D)/type 2 diabetes (T2D). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Clinical and laboratory parameters, therapy, metabolic control, and extrapancreatic symptoms in patients with HNF1B-MODY. RESULTS Patients with both MODY types were significantly older than patients with T1D at diagnosis (HNF4A, 13.8 years, and HNF1B, 13.5 years, vs T1D, 8.8 years; P < 0.0001). Mean C-peptide at diagnosis was higher for HNF4A-MODY than for T1D (1.8 vs 0.9 ng/mL; P < 0.01); 36.4% of patients with HNF4A-MODY and 65.7% of patients with HNF1B-MODY were treated with insulin, whereas 20.5% and 8.6% received oral antidiabetics only (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 vs T2D). At the most recent visit, glycated hemoglobin levels were lower in HNF4A- and HNF1B-MODY (mean, 6.5% and 6.1%) than in T1D (7.9%; P < 0.0001). In 40% of patients with HNF1B-MODY, extrapancreatic symptoms were reported. Several clinical predictors previously described to differentiate between MODY and T1D or T2D were revalidated by logistic regression analyses in this cohort. CONCLUSION The DPV registry enabled us to precisely characterize phenotype and treatment in these two rare MODY types. Although phenotype of HNF4A- and HNF1B-MODY showed distinct differences from those of T1D and T2D, 38% of patients were initially misclassified as having T1D or T2D.

Abstract
Diabetes has become a major burden of healthcare expenditure. Diabetes management following a uniform treatment algorithm is often associated with progressive treatment failure and development of diabetic complications. Recent advances in our understanding of the genomic architecture of diabetes and its complications have provided the framework for development of precision medicine to personalize diabetes prevention and management. In the present review, we summarized recent advances in the understanding of the genetic basis of diabetes and its complications. From a clinician's perspective, we attempted to provide a balanced perspective on the utility of genomic medicine in the field of diabetes. Using genetic information to guide management of monogenic forms of diabetes represents the best-known examples of genomic medicine for diabetes. Although major strides have been made in genetic research for diabetes, its complications and pharmacogenetics, ongoing efforts are required to translate these findings into practice by incorporating genetic information into a risk prediction model for prioritization of treatment strategies, as well as using multi-omic analyses to discover novel drug targets with companion diagnostics. Further research is also required to ensure the appropriate use of this information to empower individuals and healthcare professionals to make personalized decisions for achieving the optimal outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Despite advances in identifying genetic factors of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), much of the heritability remains unexplained. Nine maturity-onset diabetes in young (MODY) probands with kidney biopsy-proven DKD were selected and included in this study. The probands had more severe DKD compared with their parents with MODY, with overt proteinuria or rapid progression to ESKD. We aimed to explore the contribution of the variants in susceptibility genes of DKD to the severity of kidney phenotype between the probands and their parents. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify suspected MODY probands and their families. Known DKD susceptibility genes were reviewed. Variants reported to be associated with DKD, or those with minor allele frequency <0.05 and predicted to be pathogenic, were selected and analyzed. Immunofluorescence staining of COL4α3 was performed in kidney specimens of patients with DKD with or without R408H and M1209I of COL4A3 variants. RESULTS HNF1B-MODY, CEL-MODY, PAX4-MODY, and WFS1-MODY were diagnosed among nine families. We identified 196 selected variants of 25 DKD susceptibility genes among the participants. Analysis of phenotype between probands and parents, gene function, and protein-protein interaction networks revealed that COL4A3 variants were involved in the progression of DKD. Weak granular staining of COL4α3 was observed in the glomerular basement membrane of patients with the R408H and M1209I variants, whereas strong consecutive staining was observed in patients without these variants. Moreover, more number of DKD variants were identified in probands than in their parents with MODY. CONCLUSIONS The genetic effect of more pathogenic variants in various DKD susceptibility genes, especially variants in the COL4A3 gene, partially explained the more severe kidney phenotype in probands with kidney biopsy-proven DKD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We provide a review of monogenic diabetes in young children and adolescents with a focus on recognition, management, and pharmacological treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Monogenic forms of diabetes account for approximately 1-2% of diabetes in children and adolescents, and its incidence has increased in recent years due to greater awareness and wider availability of genetic testing. Monogenic diabetes is due to single gene defects that primarily affect beta cell function with more than 30 different genes reported. Children with antibody-negative, C-peptide-positive diabetes should be evaluated and genetically tested for monogenic diabetes. Accurate genetic diagnosis impacts treatment in the most common types of monogenic diabetes, including the use of sulfonylureas in place of insulin or other glucose-lowering agents or discontinuing pharmacologic treatment altogether. Diagnosis of monogenic diabetes can significantly improve patient care by enabling prediction of the disease course and guiding appropriate management and treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of conditions defined by resultant chronic hyperglycemia. Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the increasing understanding of genetic etiologies, we present a broad review of rare genetic forms of diabetes that have differing diagnostic and/or treatment implications from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Advances in understanding the genotype-phenotype associations in these rare forms of diabetes offer clinically available examples of evolving precision medicine where defining the correct genetic etiology can radically alter treatment approaches. In this review, we focus on forms of monogenic diabetes, mitochondrial diabetes, and syndromic diabetes.

Abstract
Precision medicine, the concept that specific treatments can be targeted to groups of individuals with specific genetic, cellular, or molecular features, is a key aspect of modern healthcare, and its use is rapidly expanding. In diabetes, the application of precision medicine has been demonstrated in monogenic disease, where sulphonylureas are used to treat patients with neonatal diabetes due to mutations in ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channel genes. However, diabetes is highly heterogeneous, both between and within polygenic and monogenic subtypes. Making the correct diagnosis and using the correct treatment from diagnosis can be challenging for clinicians, but it is crucial to prevent long-term morbidity and mortality. To facilitate precision medicine in diabetes, research is needed to develop a better understanding of disease heterogeneity and its impact on potential treatments for specific subtypes. Animal models have been used in diabetes research, but they are not translatable to humans in the majority of cases. Advances in molecular genetics and functional laboratory techniques and availability and sharing of large population data provide exciting opportunities for human studies. This review will map the key elements of future diabetes research in humans and its potential for clinical translation to promote precision medicine in all diabetes subtypes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is not a single disease, but several pathophysiological conditions where synthesis, release, and/or action of insulin are disturbed. A progressive autoimmune/autoinflammatory destruction of islet cells is still considered the main pathophysiological event in the development of T1DM, but there is evidence that T1DM itself is a heterogeneous disease. More than 50 gene regions are closely associated with T1DM and a variety of epigenetic factors and metabolic patterns have been characterized, which may play a role in the development of T1DM. The pathogenesis and genetics of type 2 DM (T2DM) are distinct from T1DM. Genes associated with T2DM are distinct from those in T1DM. Characteristic metabolic patterns, different from those in T1DM were reported in T2DM, and some children with T2DM also express islet-antibodies. Huge progress has been made in the characterization of other specific types of DM, which had been considered very rare before. The molecular clarification of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) has greatly improved our understanding of the pathophysiology of DM. There are genetic overlaps between T2DM and monogenetic DM. Neonatal DM has been shown to be monogenetic in most cases, and genetic elucidation leads to more precise and individualized therapies. Cystic fibrosis related DM (CFRDM) should be considered a genuine part of cystic fibrosis, and not a complication, since pancreatic fibrosis does not sufficiently explain the pathophysiology of CFRDM. Disturbances of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) as well as autoimmunity are involved in the pathogenesis of CFRDM.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this article was to share with a wide readership some data and related reasoning about a multigenerational form of diabetes mellitus of adulthood. DATA SYNTHESIS We have recently described a familial form of diabetes mellitus, which in the routine clinical setting of adult individuals is simplistically diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Such misdiagnosis involves as much as 3% of adult unrelated diabetic patients with no evidence of autoimmune disease. More recent data, obtained by means of a next-generation sequencing, indicate that approximately 25% of such patients carry mutations in the genes involved in monogenic diabetes, thus leaving unraveled the molecular causes of the remaining 75% individuals. CONCLUSIONS Our proposal is to define the latter patients as being affected by familial diabetes of adulthood (FDA), a clear admission of ignorance and a limbo where adult patients with multigenerational diabetes with no genetic definition of their hyperglycemia have to wait for better times.

Abstract
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is being applied within research settings across Europe to develop genomic WGS-based diagnostic tests. The focus of this perspective paper is to describe if, and how, current approaches of health technology assessment could be applied to WGS-based diagnostic tests. This perspective draws on the collective view from a trans-European multidisciplinary consortium of methodologists, clinicians and scientists. Specific challenges can be described by using the PICO (population, intervention, comparator, outcome) framework to inform health technology assessment. Practical solutions are suggested which require joined-up, multidisciplinary working across healthcare systems using existing expert networks so that emergent issues for the health technology assessment of WGS can be met in a timely fashion.

Abstract
Although hyperglycemia is common in neonates, especially preterm infants, a diagnosis of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is rarely made. NDM can be permanent (45%), transient (45%) or syndromic (10%). Of the 95% of identifiable mutations for NDM, methylation defects in 6q24, KCNJ11, ABCC8, and INS account for the majority. Two cases of transient NDM in extremely preterm, 24 weeks' gestational age (GA) triplets, due to a missense mutation c.685G>A in the KCNJ11 gene are presented. Both patients were successfully transitioned from insulin to Glyburide (Glibenclamide) at 2 months of age. Comprehensive genetic testing with targeted next-generation sequencing and 6q24 methylation analysis helps identify monogenic diabetes early, thereby improving metabolic and glycemic control when patients with potassium channel mutations are started on sulfonylurea (SU) treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze the gene mutation and mental disorder of a Chinese ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) family, and to make a precise diagnosis and give a treatment for them. METHODS We studied a Chinese family with a clinical diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). The clinical data and the blood samples were collected. The promotor and coding regions inclusive intron exon boundaries of the HNF1A, HNF4A were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. The missense mutation was also analyzed by bioinformatics. Genetic counseling was performed twice a month to relieve the mental disorder of the persons. RESULTS The missense mutation c.779 C>T (p.T260M) in exon4 of HNF1A gene was detected, and the symptom heterogenicity among persons in this family were found. All the members were retreated with Gliclazide and stopped to use other medicine, the blood glucose of them were well controlled. We also performed an active genetic counseling to them and the mental disorder of the proband's sister was relieved. CONCLUSIONS A missense mutation of HNF1A gene was first found in Chinese ketosis-prone MODY family with manifestations heterogenicity among the persons. Sulphonylureas medicine and genetic counseling are efficiency ways to treat MODY 3 and its' mental disorder respectively.
