Baldacchino I, Pace NP, Vassallo J. Screening for monogenic diabetes in primary care. Prim Care Diabetes 2020; 14:1-11. [PMID: 31253563 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2019.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [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: 03/21/2019] [Revised: 05/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Updates on the latest diagnostic methods and features of MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) and promotion of education and awareness on the subject are discussed. METHOD Previous recommendations were identified using PubMed and using combinations of terms including "MODY" "monogenic diabetes" "mature onset diabetes" "MODY case review". The diabetesgenes.org website and the US Monogenic Diabetes Registry (University of Colorado) were directly referenced. The remaining referenced papers were taken from peer-reviewed journals. The initial literature search occurred in January 2017 and the final search occurred in September 2018. RESULTS A diagnosis of MODY has implications for treatment, quality of life, management in pregnancy and research. The threshold for referral and testing varies among different ethnic groups, and depends on body mass index, family history of diabetes and associated syndromes. Novel causative genetic variations are still being discovered however testing is currently limited by low referral rates. Educational material is currently being promoted in the UK in an effort to raise awareness. CONCLUSIONS The benefits and implications of life altering treatment such as termination of insulin administration are significant but little can be done without appropriate identification and referral.

Abstract
Phenotypic variability in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) makes screening criteria for genomic analysis challenging. We describe the clinical spectrum in a large pedigree with HNF1A-MODY; as generations progressed, the course and outcome became poorer. Although uncommon, pancreatic autoantibodies and diabetes ketoacidosis should not exclude the diagnosis of MODY.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes that accounts for at least 1 % of all cases of diabetes mellitus. MODY classically presents as non-insulin-requiring diabetes in lean individuals typically younger than 25 with evidence of autosomal dominant inheritance, but these criteria do not capture all cases and can also overlap with other diabetes types. Genetic diagnosis of MODY is important for selecting the right treatment, yet ~95 % of MODY cases in the USA are misdiagnosed. MODY prevalence and characteristics have been well-studied in some populations, such as the UK and Norway, while other ethnicities, like African and Latino, need much more study. Emerging next-generation sequencing methods are making more widespread study and clinical diagnosis increasingly feasible; at the same time, they are detecting other mutations in the same genes of unknown clinical significance. This review will cover the current epidemiological studies of MODY and barriers and opportunities for moving toward a goal of access to an appropriate diagnosis for all affected individuals.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects mainly young people. In the last 50 years, a steady increase of the T1D incidence in the young is reported worldwide, with an average 4 % increase annually. In addition, the mean age at the diagnosis is decreasing. Studies show that good metabolic control is important not only for delaying the chronic complications of diabetes but also for improving the quality of life of patients and their families. Continuous education, together with modern technology, is crucial in achieving these goals. Longitudinal data on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), along with the data on severe hypoglycemia and severe diabetic ketoacidosis, can describe the quality of care in a defined population. Two national reference diabetes centres taking care of children, adolescents and young adults with diabetes in Israel and Slovenia are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Heterozygous inactivating mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene cause a hyperglycemic condition termed maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 2 or GCK-MODY. This is characterized by mild, stable, usually asymptomatic, fasting hyperglycemia that rarely requires pharmacological intervention. The aim of the present study was to screen for GCK gene mutations in Asian Indian subjects with mild hyperglycemia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Of the 1,517 children and adolescents of the population-based ORANGE study in Chennai, India, 49 were found to have hyperglycemia. These children along with the six patients referred to our center with mild hyperglycemia were screened for MODY 2 mutations. The GCK gene was bidirectionally sequenced using BigDye(®) Terminator v3.1 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) chemistry. In silico predictions of the pathogenicity were carried out using the online tools SIFT, Polyphen-2, and I-Mutant 2.0 software programs. RESULTS Direct sequencing of the GCK gene in the patients referred to our Centre revealed one novel mutation, Thr206Ala (c.616A>G), in exon 6 and one previously described mutation, Met251Thr (c.752T>C), in exon 7. In silico analysis predicted the novel mutation to be pathogenic. The highly conserved nature and critical location of the residue Thr206 along with the clinical course suggests that the Thr206Ala is a MODY 2 mutation. However, we did not find any MODY 2 mutations in the 49 children selected from the population-based study. Hence prevalence of GCK mutations in Chennai is <1:1,517. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study of MODY 2 mutations from India and confirms the importance of considering GCK gene mutation screening in patients with mild early-onset hyperglycemia who are negative for β-cell antibodies.
