Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most frequent monogenetic diabetes form. It is caused by mutations in genes important for the development and function of pancreatic beta-cells, resulting in impaired insulin secretion capacity. Up to now, 14 different types have been described. The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant, leading to a strong family history with more than three affected generations. Young age at diagnosis and lack of pancreatic autoantibodies are further characteristics of MODY. The presence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was long regarded as an exclusion criterion for MODY. However, in recent years, several case reports on MODY patients presenting with DKA have been published. The present study aimed to give an overview of the current knowledge of DKA in MODY patients, with a collection of published case studies as a prerequisite for this review.

Precision treatment of beta-cell monogenic diabetes: a systematic review. COMMUNICATIONS MEDICINE 2024; 4:145. [PMID: 39025920 PMCID: PMC11258280 DOI: 10.1038/s43856-024-00556-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta-cell monogenic forms of diabetes have strong support for precision medicine. We systematically analyzed evidence for precision treatments for GCK-related hyperglycemia, HNF1A-, HNF4A- and HNF1B-diabetes, and mitochondrial diabetes (MD) due to m.3243 A > G variant, 6q24-transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TND) and SLC19A2-diabetes. METHODS The search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase for individual and group level data for glycemic outcomes using inclusion (English, original articles written after 1992) and exclusion (VUS, multiple diabetes types, absent/aggregated treatment effect measures) criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using NHLBI study-quality assessment tools. Data extracted from Covidence were summarized and presented as descriptive statistics in tables and text. RESULTS There are 146 studies included, with only six being experimental studies. For GCK-related hyperglycemia, the six studies (35 individuals) assessing therapy discontinuation show no HbA1c deterioration. A randomized trial (18 individuals per group) shows that sulfonylureas (SU) were more effective in HNF1A-diabetes than in type 2 diabetes. Cohort and case studies support SU's effectiveness in lowering HbA1c. Two cross-over trials (each with 15-16 individuals) suggest glinides and GLP-1 receptor agonists might be used in place of SU. Evidence for HNF4A-diabetes is limited. Most reported patients with HNF1B-diabetes (N = 293) and MD (N = 233) are on insulin without treatment studies. Limited data support oral agents after relapse in 6q24-TND and for thiamine improving glycemic control and reducing/eliminating insulin requirement in SLC19A2-diabetes. CONCLUSION There is limited evidence, and with moderate or serious risk of bias, to guide monogenic diabetes treatment. Further evidence is needed to examine the optimum treatment in monogenic subtypes.

Abstract
Background Beta-cell monogenic forms of diabetes are the area of diabetes care with the strongest support for precision medicine. We reviewed treatment of hyperglycemia in GCK-related hyperglycemia, HNF1A-HNF4A- and HNF1B-diabetes, Mitochondrial diabetes (MD) due to m.3243A>G variant, 6q24-transient neonatal diabetes (TND) and SLC19A2-diabetes. Methods Systematic reviews with data from PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase were performed for the different subtypes. Individual and group level data was extracted for glycemic outcomes in individuals with genetically confirmed monogenic diabetes. Results 147 studies met inclusion criteria with only six experimental studies and the rest being single case reports or cohort studies. Most studies had moderate or serious risk of bias.For GCK-related hyperglycemia, six studies (N=35) showed no deterioration in HbA1c on discontinuing glucose lowering therapy. A randomized trial (n=18 per group) showed that sulfonylureas (SU) were more effective in HNF1A-diabetes than in type 2 diabetes, and cohort and case studies supported SU effectiveness in lowering HbA1c. Two crossover trials (n=15 and n=16) suggested glinides and GLP-1 receptor agonists might be used in place of SU. Evidence for HNF4A-diabetes was limited. While some patients with HNF1B-diabetes (n=301) and MD (n=250) were treated with oral agents, most were on insulin. There was some support for the use of oral agents after relapse in 6q24-TND, and for thiamine improving glycemic control and reducing insulin requirement in SLC19A2-diabetes (less than half achieved insulin-independency). Conclusion There is limited evidence to guide the treatment in monogenic diabetes with most studies being non-randomized and small. The data supports: no treatment in GCK-related hyperglycemia; SU for HNF1A-diabetes. Further evidence is needed to examine the optimum treatment in monogenic subtypes.

Role of HNFA1 Gene Variants in Pancreatic Beta Cells Function and Glycaemic Control in Young Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Biomedicines 2023; 11:1951. [PMID: 37509590 PMCID: PMC10377126 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11071951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The HNF1A transcription factor, implicated in the regulation of pancreatic beta cells, as well as in glucose and lipid metabolism, is responsible for type 3 maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3). HNF1A is also involved in increased susceptibility to polygenic forms of diabetes, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and gestational diabetes (GD), while its possible role in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not known. In this study, 277 children and adolescents with T1D and 140 healthy controls were recruited. The following SNPs in HNF1A gene were selected: rs1169286, rs1169288, rs7979478, and rs2259816. Through linear or logistic regression analysis, we analyzed their association with T1D susceptibility and related clinical traits, such as insulin dose-adjusted glycated hemoglobin A1c (IDAA1c) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). We found that rs1169286 was associated with IDAA1c and HbA1c values (p-value = 0.0027 and p-value = 0.0075, respectively), while rs1169288 was associated with IDAA1c (p-value = 0.0081). No association between HNF1A SNPs and T1D development emerged. In conclusion, our findings suggest for the first time that HNF1A variants may be a risk factor for beta cell function and glycaemic control in T1D individuals.

Molecular characterization and re-interpretation of HNF1A variants identified in Indian MODY subjects towards precision medicine. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1177268. [PMID: 37396188 PMCID: PMC10313120 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1177268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background HNF1A is an essential component of the transcription factor network that controls pancreatic β-cell differentiation, maintenance, and glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). A continuum of protein malfunction is caused by variations in the HNF1A gene, from severe loss-of-function (LOF) variants that cause the highly penetrant Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) to milder LOF variants that are far less penetrant but impart a population-wide risk of type 2 diabetes that is up to five times higher. Before classifying and reporting the discovered variations as relevant in clinical diagnosis, a critical review is required. Functional investigations offer substantial support for classifying a variant as pathogenic, or otherwise as advised by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) ACMG/AMP criteria for variant interpretation. Objective To determine the molecular basis for the variations in the HNF1A gene found in patients with monogenic diabetes in India. Methods We performed functional protein analyses such as transactivation, protein expression, DNA binding, nuclear localization, and glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assay, along with structural prediction analysis for 14 HNF1A variants found in 20 patients with monogenic diabetes. Results Of the 14 variants, 4 (28.6%) were interpreted as pathogenic, 6 (42.8%) as likely pathogenic, 3 (21.4%) as variants of uncertain significance, and 1 (7.14%) as benign. Patients harboring the pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were able to successfully switch from insulin to sulfonylureas (SU) making these variants clinically actionable. Conclusion Our findings are the first to show the need of using additive scores during molecular characterization for accurate pathogenicity evaluations of HNF1A variants in precision medicine.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is often treated as a uniform disease in the perioperative period. Type 2 diabetes is most commonly encountered, and only a minority of surgical patients have been diagnosed with another type of diabetes. Patients with a specific type of diabetes can be particularly prone to perioperative glycaemic dysregulation. In addition, certain type-related features and pitfalls should be taken into account in the operating theatre. In this narrative review, we discuss characteristics of types of diabetes other than type 2 diabetes relevant to the anaesthetist, based on available literature and data from our clinic.

Abstract
Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes diagnosed in young individuals that lack the typical features of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The genetic subtype of MODY determines the most effective treatment and this is the driver for MODY genetic testing in diabetes populations. Despite the obvious clinical and health economic benefits, MODY is significantly underdiagnosed with the majority of patients being inappropriately managed as having type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Low detection rates result from the difficulty in identifying patients with a likely diagnosis of MODY from the high background population of young onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes, compounded by the lack of MODY awareness and education in diabetes care physicians. MODY diagnosis can be improved through (1) access to education and training, (2) the use of sensitive and specific selection criteria based on accurate prediction models and biomarkers to identify patients for testing, (3) the development and mainstream implementation of simple criteria-based selection pathways applicable across a range of healthcare settings and ethnicities to select the most appropriate patients for genetic testing and (4) the correct use of next generation sequencing technology to provide accurate and comprehensive testing of all known MODY and monogenic diabetes genes. The creation and public sharing of educational materials, clinical and scientific best practice guidelines and genetic variants will help identify the missing patients so they can benefit from the more effective clinical care that a genetic diagnosis brings.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics and long-term follow-up of a cohort with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and to evaluate how molecular diagnosis impacted on treatment. METHODS A large observational, retrospective, cohort study included individuals referred to the University of São Paulo's Monogenic Diabetes Unit between 2011 and 2020. Comprehensive clinical and genetic evaluations were performed. RESULTS Overall, 228 individuals (190 GCK-MODY and 38 HNF1A-MODY) were enrolled. Sixty-two different GCK gene mutations (5 novel) and 17 HNF1A gene mutations (2 novel) were found. Data were available on treatment status for 76 index individuals with GCK-MODY. Before molecular diagnosis, nutritional intervention alone was used in 41 cases (53.9%). After molecular diagnosis, this number increased to 72 (94.8%). Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) remained stable over the 6-year follow-up period: 6.5% (47 mmol/mol) at the first and 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) at the final visit (p = 0.056). Prior to molecular diagnosis, 7/21 (33.3%) HNF1A-MODY individuals were using sulfonylurea compared to 17/21 (81%) after testing. After a median of 5 years on sulfonylureas, HbA1c values improved from 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) to 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Molecular diagnosis resulted in appropriate adjustment of treatment in approximately 80% of participants with GCK-MODY or HNF1A-MODY.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare monogenic form of diabetes. In 2009, >80% of U.K. cases were estimated to be misdiagnosed. Since then, there have been a number of initiatives to improve the awareness and detection of MODY, including education initiatives (Genetic Diabetes Nurse [GDN] project), the MODY probability calculator, and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS). We examined how the estimated prevalence of MODY and other forms of monogenic diabetes diagnosed outside the neonatal period has changed over time and how the initiatives have impacted case finding. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS U.K. referrals for genetic testing for monogenic diabetes diagnosed >1 year of age from 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2019 were examined. Positive test rates were compared for referrals reporting GDN involvement/MODY calculator use with those that did not. RESULTS A diagnosis of monogenic diabetes was confirmed in 3,860 individuals, more than threefold higher than 2009 (1 January 1996 to 28 February 2009, n = 1,177). Median age at diagnosis in probands was 21 years. GDN involvement was reported in 21% of referrals; these referrals had a higher positive test rate than those without GDN involvement (32% vs. 23%, P < 0.001). MODY calculator usage was indicated in 74% of eligible referrals since 2014; these referrals had a higher positive test rate than those not using the calculator (33% vs. 25%, P = 0.001). Four hundred ten (10.6%) cases were identified through tNGS. Monogenic diabetes prevalence was estimated to be 248 cases/million (double that estimated in 2009 because of increased case finding). CONCLUSIONS Since 2009, referral rates and case diagnosis have increased threefold. This is likely to be the consequence of tNGS, GDN education, and use of the MODY calculator.

Role of Actionable Genes in Pursuing a True Approach of Precision Medicine in Monogenic Diabetes. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13010117. [PMID: 35052457 PMCID: PMC8774614 DOI: 10.3390/genes13010117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
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
Diabetes, a disease characterized by hyperglycemia, has a serious impact on the lives and families of patients as well as on society. Diabetes is a group of highly heterogeneous metabolic diseases that can be classified as type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), or other according to the etiology. The clinical manifestations are more or less similar among the different types of diabetes, and each type is highly heterogeneous due to different pathogenic factors. Therefore, distinguishing between various types of diabetes and defining their subtypes are major challenges hindering the precise treatment of the disease. T2D is the main type of diabetes in humans as well as the most heterogeneous. Fortunately, some studies have shown that variants of certain genes involved in monogenic diabetes also increase the risk of T2D. We hope this finding will enable breakthroughs regarding the pathogenesis of T2D and facilitate personalized treatment of the disease by exploring the function of the signal genes involved. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A (HNF1α) is widely expressed in pancreatic β cells, the liver, the intestines, and other organs. HNF1α is highly polymorphic, but lacks a mutation hot spot. Mutations can be found at any site of the gene. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) while some others do not cause MODY3 but increase the susceptibility to T2D or GDM. The phenotypes of MODY3 caused by different SNPs also differ. MODY3 is among the most common types of MODY, which is a form of monogenic diabetes mellitus caused by a single gene mutation. Both T2D and GDM are multifactorial diseases caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Different types of diabetes mellitus have different clinical phenotypes and treatments. This review focuses on HNF1α gene polymorphisms, HNF1A-MODY3, HNF1A-associated T2D and GDM, and the related pathogenesis and treatment methods. We hope this review will provide a valuable reference for the precise and individualized treatment of diabetes caused by abnormal HNF1α by summarizing the clinical heterogeneity of blood glucose abnormalities caused by HNF1α mutation.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to identify the mutations of the most common form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), also known as MODY3, in diabetic patients suspected of MODY. This can recommend appropriate medical surveillance of at-risk family members of MODY based on the genetic cause. Methods We analyzed the clinical course of 19 patients from 12 unrelated Iranian families with diabetes features. The coding regions and intron-exon boundaries of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (HNF1A) gene were studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sanger sequencing. Also, the detected mutation was analyzed by bioinformatics tools. Results One novel frameshift insertion mutation (p.Glu11Argfs*12) was detected in one of the probands and seven other patients of her family with the heterozygote state. The mutation is located in the exon1 of the dimerization domain of the HNF1A gene. According to the In Silico analysis, the detected mutation is predicted as a pathogenic one. Conclusions Differential diagnosis between MODY3 and other forms of diabetes can be considered a necessity in terms of overlapping symptoms of MODY3 with type1 or 2 diabetes. Molecular genetic testing can provide an accurate diagnosis for optimal management.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes mellitus, which is diabetes caused by a defect in a single gene that is associated with β cell function or insulin action, accounts for 1% to 6% of all pediatric diabetes cases. Accurate diagnosis is important, as the effective treatment differs according to genetic etiology in some types of monogenic diabetes: high-dose sulfonylurea treatment in neonatal diabetes caused by activating mutations in KCNJ11 or ABCC8; low-dose sulfonylurea treatment in HNF1A/HNF4A-diabetes; and no treatment in GCK diabetes. Monogenic diabetes should be suspected by clinicians for certain combinations of clinical features and laboratory results, and approximately 80% of monogenic diabetes cases are misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Here, we outline the types of monogenic diabetes and the clinical implications of genetic diagnosis.

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
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a genetically heterogeneous group of monogenic endocrine disorders that is characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. These patients are commonly misdiagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, as the clinical symptoms largely overlap. Even though several biomarkers have been tested none of which could be used as single clinical discriminator. The correct diagnosis for individuals with MODY is of utmost importance, as the applied treatment depends on the gene mutation or is subtype-specific. Moreover, in patients with HNF1A-MODY, additional clinical monitoring can be included due to the high incidence of vascular complications observed in these patients. Finally, stratification of MODY patients will enable better and newer treatment options for MODY patients, once the disease pathology for each patient group is better understood. In the current review the clinical characteristics and the known disease-related abnormalities of the most common MODY subtypes are discussed, together with the up-to-date applied diagnostic criteria and treatment options. Additionally, the usage of pluripotent stem cells together with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing for disease modelling with the possibility to reveal new pathophysiological mechanisms in MODY is discussed.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common condition which all clinicians will encounter in their clinical practice. The most common form is type 2 diabetes followed by type 1 diabetes. However, there are many other atypical forms of diabetes which are important for a clinician to consider as it can impact on the diagnosis and their management.This article focuses on maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), ketosis-prone diabetes and other secondary forms of diabetes such as pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis. We briefly describe the key clinical features of these forms of diabetes and their investigations and treatment.

Abstract
Antennary fucosylation alterations in plasma glycoproteins have been previously proposed and tested as a biomarker for differentiation of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) patients carrying a functional mutation in the HNF1A gene. Here, we developed a novel LC-based workflow to analyze blood plasma N-glycan fucosylation in 320 diabetes cases with clinical features matching those at risk of HNF1A-MODY. Fucosylation levels measured in two independent research centers by using similar LC-based methods were correlated to evaluate the interlaboratory performance of the biomarker. The interlaboratory study showed good correlation between fucosylation levels measured for the 320 cases in the two centers with the correlation coefficient (r) of up to 0.88 for a single trait A3FG3S2. The improved chromatographic separation allowed the identification of six single glycan traits and a derived antennary fucosylation trait that were able to differentiate individuals carrying pathogenic mutations from benign or no HNF1A mutation cases, as determined by the area under the curve (AUC) of up to 0.94. The excellent (r = 0.88) interlaboratory performance of the glycan biomarker for HNF1A-MODY further supports the development of a clinically relevant diagnostic test measuring antennary fucosylation levels.

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
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most common form of monogenic diabetes and is currently believed to have 14 subtypes. While much is known about the common subtypes of MODY (MODY-1, 2, 3 and 5) little is known about its rare subtypes (MODY4, 6-14). With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) there are several reports of the rarer subtypes of MODY emerging from across the world. Therefore, a greater understanding on these rarer subtypes is needed. A search strategy was created, and common databases were searched, and 51 articles finally selected. INS-(MODY10) and ABCC8-(MODY12) mutations were reported in relatively large numbers compared to the other rare subtypes. The clinical characteristics of the rare MODY subtypes exhibited heterogeneity between families reported with the same mutation. Obesity and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were also reported among rarer MODY subtypes which presents as a challenge as these are not part of the original description of MODY by Tattersal and Fajans. The treatment modalities of the rarer subtypes included oral drugs, predominantly sulfonylureas, insulin but also diet alone. Newer drugs like DPP-4 and SGLT2 inhibitors have also been tried as new modes of treatment. The microvascular and macrovascular complications among the patients with various MODY subtypes are less commonly reported. Recently, there is a view that not all the 14 forms of 'MODY' are true MODY and the very existence of some of these rarer subtypes as MODY has been questioned. This scoping review aims to report on the clinical characteristics, treatment and complications of the rarer MODY subtypes published in the literature.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Maturity-onset diabetes of the young, or MODY-monogenic diabetes, is a not-so-rare collection of inherited disorders of non-autoimmune diabetes mellitus that remains insufficiently diagnosed despite increasing awareness. These cases are important to efficiently and accurately diagnose, given the clinical implications of syndromic features, cost-effective treatment regimen, and the potential impact on multiple family members. Proper recognition of the clinical manifestations, family history, and cost-effective lab and genetic testing provide the diagnosis. All patients must undergo a thorough history, physical examination, multigenerational family history, lab evaluation (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c], glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies [GADA], islet antigen 2 antibodies [IA-2A], and zinc transporter 8 [ZnT8] antibodies). The presence of clinical features with 3 (or more) negative antibodies may be indicative of MODY-monogenic diabetes, and is followed by genetic testing. Molecular genetic testing should be performed before attempting specific treatments in most cases. Additional testing that is helpful in determining the risk of MODY-monogenic diabetes is the MODY clinical risk calculator (>25% post-test probability in patients not treated with insulin within 6 months of diagnosis should trigger genetic testing) and 2-hour postprandial (after largest meal of day) urinary C-peptide to creatinine ratio (with a ≥0.2 nmol/mmol to distinguish HNF1A- or 4A-MODY from type 1 diabetes). Treatment, as well as monitoring for microvascular and macrovascular complications, is determined by the specific variant that is identified. In addition to the diagnostic approach, this article will highlight recent therapeutic advancements when patients no longer respond to first-line therapy (historically sulfonylurea treatment in many variants). LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to. TARGET AUDIENCE This continuing medical education activity should be of substantial interest to endocrinologists and all health care professionals who care for people with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes, including maturity-onset diabetes of the young, neonatal diabetes, and other rare forms of diabetes, results from a single gene mutation. It has been estimated to represent around 1% to 6% of all diabetes. With the advances in genome sequencing technology, it is possible to diagnose more monogenic diabetes cases than ever before. In Korea, 11 studies have identified several monogenic diabetes cases, using Sanger sequencing and whole exome sequencing since 2001. The recent largest study, using targeted exome panel sequencing, found a molecular diagnosis rate of 21.1% for monogenic diabetes in clinically suspected patients. Mutations in glucokinase (GCK), hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1A), and HNF4A were most commonly found. Genetic diagnosis of monogenic diabetes is important as it determines the therapeutic approach required for patients and helps to identify affected family members. However, there are still many challenges, which include a lack of simple clinical criterion for selecting patients for genetic testing, difficulties in interpreting the genetic test results, and high costs for genetic testing. In this review, we will discuss the latest updates on monogenic diabetes in Korea, and suggest an algorithm to screen patients for genetic testing. The genetic tests and non-genetic markers for accurate diagnosis of monogenic diabetes will be also reviewed.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2020; 168:108390. [PMID: 32858097 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2020.108390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Monogenic diabetes (also known as maturity-onset diabetes of the young or MODY) affects a subset of individuals with young-onset diabetes. We report our diagnostic work-up experience for such individuals. METHODS Serving as a regional secondary-care diabetes centre in a multi-ethnic population, we receive referrals to evaluate MODY from endocrinologists in both public and private practice. Key criteria for consideration of genetic-testing are onset age ≤ 35, negative GAD antibody, no history of diabetic ketoacidosis, strong family history of diabetes and BMI < 32.5 kg/m2. A monogenic diabetes registry was set up since 2017 to study their disease trajectories. RESULTS We identified 30 out of 175 (17.1%) individuals with likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants. Importantly, 29 out of 30 (96.7%) occurred in clinically actionable genes. A continuous scale combining BMI, hs-CRP and HDL provided 80% (P < 0.001) diagnostic accuracy for MODY in our cohort, achieving a negative predictive value of 0.93 and sensitivity at 0.76. Subtyping MODY prior to genetic testing (if desired) will require specialist domain knowledge and additional biomarkers due to its genetic heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS Through systematic and structured evaluation, the prevalence of MODY is non-trivial (17.1%) in a referral centre. Diagnostic algorithm combining clinical criteria and readily available biomarkers can support clinical decision for MODY genetic testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sulfonylureas are first-line treatment of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-α (HNF1A) diabetes (maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3), but many patients do not achieve optimal glycemic control without episodes of hypoglycemia. We investigated the combination of the sulfonylurea glimepiride and the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor linagliptin versus glimepiride monotherapy with respect to glycemic variability, glycemic control, and risk of hypoglycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized, double-blinded, crossover trial, patients with HNF1A diabetes (n = 19; mean ± SD age 43 ± 14 years, BMI 24.8 ± 2.8 kg/m2, and glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 7.4 ± 0.2% [57.1 ± 7.3 mmol/mol]) were randomly assigned to treatment with glimepiride + linagliptin 5 mg (16 weeks), washout (4 weeks), and glimepiride + placebo (16 weeks) (or vice versa). Glimepiride was titrated targeting a fasting plasma glucose of 4.5-6.0 mmol/L without hypoglycemia. Treatments were evaluated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), HbA1c, and meal test. RESULTS Compared with glimepiride + placebo, glimepiride + linagliptin did not significantly improve the primary end point, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) (mean difference -0.7 mmol/L, P = 0.1540), but displayed significant reductions in coefficient of variation on CGM (-3.6%, P = 0.0401), HbA1c (-0.5%, P = 0.0048), and glimepiride dose (-0.7 mg/day, P = 0.0099). β-cell glucose sensitivity (assessed as C-peptide-to-glucose ratio) during meal test improved with glimepiride + linagliptin. Incidences of hypoglycemia were similar with both treatments. CONCLUSIONS Linagliptin as add-on treatment to glimepiride improved glycemic variability and control without increasing risk of hypoglycemia in patients with HNF1A diabetes.

Abstract
Sulfonylureas (SUs) provide an efficacious first-line treatment in patients with hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1A) diabetes, but SUs have limitations due to risk of hypoglycemia. Treatment based on the incretin hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is characterized by their glucose-dependent insulinotropic actions without risk of hypoglycemia. The effect of SUs together with GIP or GLP-1, respectively, on insulin and glucagon secretion in patients with HNF1A diabetes is currently unknown. To investigate this, 10 HNF1A mutation carriers and 10 control subjects without diabetes were recruited for a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study including 6 experimental days in a randomized order involving 2-h euglycemic-hyperglycemic clamps with coadministration of: 1) SU (glimepiride 1 mg) or placebo, combined with 2) infusions of GIP (1.5 pmol/kg/min), GLP-1 (0.5 pmol/kg/min), or saline (NaCl). In HNF1A mutation carriers, we observed: 1) hypoinsulinemia, 2) insulinotropic effects of both GIP and GLP-1, 3) additive to supra-additive effects on insulin secretion when combining SU+GIP and SU+GLP-1, respectively, and 4) increased fasting and arginine-induced glucagon levels compared with control subjects without diabetes. Our study suggests that a combination of SU and incretin-based treatment may be efficacious in patients with HNF1A diabetes via potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

Abstract
CONTEXT While rare variants of the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1A) gene can cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (HNF1A-MODY), other variants can be risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. As has been suggested by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines for variant interpretation, functional studies provide strong evidence to classify a variant as pathogenic. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that a functional evaluation can improve the interpretation of the HNF1A variants in our Czech MODY Registry. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND PARTICIPANTS We studied 17 HNF1A variants that were identified in 48 individuals (33 female/15 male) from 20 Czech families with diabetes, using bioinformatics in silico tools and functional protein analyses (transactivation, protein expression, DNA binding, and nuclear localization). RESULTS Of the 17 variants, 12 variants (p.Lys120Glu, p.Gln130Glu, p.Arg131Pro, p.Leu139Pro, p.Met154Ile, p.Gln170Ter, p.Glu187SerfsTer40, p.Phe215SerfsTer18, p.Gly253Arg, p.Leu383ArgfsTer3, p.Gly437Val, and p.Thr563HisfsTer85) exhibited significantly reduced transcriptional activity or DNA binding (< 40%) and were classified as (likely) pathogenic, 2/17 variants were (likely) benign and 3/17 remained of uncertain significance. Functional analyses allowed for the reclassification of 10/17 variants (59%). Diabetes treatment was improved in 20/29 (69%) carriers of (likely) pathogenic HNF1A variants. CONCLUSION Functional evaluation of the HNF1A variants is necessary to better predict the pathogenic effects and to improve the diagnostic interpretation and treatment, particularly in cases where the cosegregation or family history data are not available or where the phenotype is more diverse and overlaps with other types of diabetes.

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
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a clinically heterogeneous group of monogenic disorders characterized by ß-cell dysfunction. MODY accounts for between 2% and 5% of all diabetes cases, and distinguishing it from type 1 or type 2 diabetes is a diagnostic challenge. Recently, MODY-causing mutations have been identified in 14 different genes. Sanger DNA sequencing is the gold standard for identifying the mutations in MODY-related genes, and may facilitate the diagnosis. Despite the lower frequency among diabetes mellitus cases, a correct genetic diagnosis of MODY is important for optimizing treatment strategies. There is a discrepancy in the disease-causing locus between the Asian and Caucasian patients with MODY. Furthermore, the prevalence of the disease in Asian populations remains to be studied. In this review, the current understanding of MODY is summarized and the Asian studies of MODY are discussed in detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease with significant impression in today's world. Aside from the most common types recognized over the years, such as type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), recent studies have emphasized the crucial role of genetics in DM, allowing the distinction of monogenic diabetes. METHODS Authors did a literature search with the purpose of highlighting and clarifying the subtypes of monogenic diabetes, as well as the accredited genetic entities responsible for such phenotypes. RESULTS The following subtypes were included in this literature review: maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) and maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD). So far, 14 subtypes of MODY have been identified, while three subtypes have been identified in NDM - transient, permanent, and syndromic. DISCUSSION Despite being estimated to affect approximately 2% of all the T2DM patients in Europe, the exact prevalence of MODY is still unknown, accentuating the need for research focused on biomarkers. Consequently, due to its impact in the course of treatment, follow-up of associated complications, and genetic implications for siblings and offspring of affected individuals, it is imperative to diagnose the monogenic forms of DM accurately. CONCLUSION Currently, advances in the genetics field allowed the recognition of new DM subtypes, which until now, were considered slight variations of the typical forms. Thus, it is imperative to act in the close interaction between genetics and clinical manifestations, to facilitate diagnosis and individualize treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most common type of monogenic diabetes, being characterized by beta-cell disfunction, early onset, and autosomal dominant inheritance. Despite the rapid evolution of molecular diagnosis methods, many MODY cases are misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. High costs of genetic testing and limited knowledge of MODY as a relevant clinical entity are some of the obstacles that hinder correct MODY diagnosis and treatment. We present a broad review of clinical syndromes related to most common MODY subtypes, emphasizing the role of biomarkers that can help improving the accuracy of clinical selection of candidates for molecular diagnosis. MAIN BODY To date, MODY-related mutations have been reported in at least 14 different genes. Mutations in glucokinase (GCK), hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 homeobox A (HNF1A), and hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 homeobox A (HNF4A) are the most common causes of MODY. Accurate etiological diagnosis can be challenging. Many biomarkers such as apolipoprotein-M (ApoM), aminoaciduria, complement components, and glycosuria have been tested, but have not translated into helpful diagnostic tools. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels are lower in HNF1A-MODY and have been tested in some studies to discriminate HNF1A-MODY from other types of diabetes, although more data are needed. Overall, presence of pancreatic residual function and absence of islet autoimmunity seem the most promising clinical instruments to select patients for further investigation. CONCLUSIONS The selection of diabetic patients for genetic testing is an ongoing challenge. Metabolic profiling, diabetes onset age, pancreatic antibodies, and C-peptide seem to be useful tools to better select patients for genetic testing. Further studies are needed to define cut-off values in different populations.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by early onset, lean, non-autoimmunity mediated, non-insulin-dependent diabetes often with autosomal-dominant inheritance and specific pharmaco-genetic response. We describe two siblings with HNF1A-MODY (MODY3) due to a novel germline variant p.(His126Asp) which segregates with diabetes in the family. However, contrary to anticipated therapeutic response, blood glucose in this sib-pair did not respond to sulphonylureas (both low and high dose), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4 inhibitors), and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), also known as incretin mimetics. The unexpected limited pharmaco-therapeutic response could potentially be unique to this specific variant and/or progressive pancreatic β-cell failure associated with long-standing disease duration, higher BMI and glucose-toxicity. Therefore, we report a novel-variant MODY3 sib-pair with atypical pharmaco-therapeutic response i.e. resistant to multiple anti-diabetes agents namely sulphonylurea, DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1RA treatment.

Abstract
Patients with HNF1A-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) often develop endothelial dysfunction and related microvascular complications, like retinopathy. As the clinical phenotype of HNF1A-MODY diabetes varies considerably, we used human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from two healthy individuals (control) to generate isogenic lines with mutation in HNF1A gene. Subsequently, control hiPSCs and their respective HNF1A clones were differentiated toward endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs) and different markers/functions were compared. Human iPSC-ECs from all cell lines showed similar expression of CD31 and Tie-2. VE-cadherin expression was lower in HNF1A-mutated isogenic lines, but only in clones derived from one control hiPSCs. In the other isogenic set and cells derived from HNF1A-MODY patients, no difference in VE-cadherin expression was observed, suggesting the impact of the genetic background on this endothelial marker. All tested hiPSC-ECs showed an expected angiogenic response regardless of the mutation introduced. Isogenic hiPSC-ECs responded similarly to stimulation with pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α with the increase in ICAM-1 and permeability, however, HNF1A mutated hiPSC-ECs showed higher permeability in comparison to the control cells. Summarizing, both mono- and biallelic mutations of HNF1A in hiPSC-ECs lead to increased permeability in response to TNF-α in normal glycemic conditions, which may have relevance to HNF1A-MODY microvascular complications.

Abstract
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) represents a diabetes type which has an enormous clinical impact. It significantly alters treatment, refines a patient's prognosis and enables early detection of diabetes in relatives. Nevertheless, when diabetes is manifested the vast majority of MODY patients are not correctly diagnosed, but mostly falsely included among patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, in many cases permanently. The aim of this article is to offer a simple and comprehensible guide for recognizing individuals with MODY hidden among adult patients with another type of long-term diabetes and in women with gestational diabetes.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes affects approximately 120,000 people in the United States but continues to be misdiagnosed. Within the pediatric population, 1% to 3% of diabetes is monogenic, and early diagnosis and genetically targeted management of congenital diabetes and maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) can have a tremendous impact on future health outcomes and quality of life. In some of the more common monogenic diabetes types, patients can switch from insulin therapy to sulfonylureas or even discontinue glucose-lowering therapy with stable glycemic control. Advancements in the field have identified tools and resources to aid in distinguishing patients likely to have monogenic diabetes from the more common forms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, genetic testing with accurate interpretation of results is necessary to confirm a diagnosis and direct treatment selection and disease management. This article discusses challenges and opportunities in monogenic diabetes in the pediatric population. [Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(8):e319-e325.].

Abstract
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) accounts for up to 4% of all cases of diabetes in pediatric patients. MODY is usually characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, impaired insulin secretion, and an average age at diagnosis of 18-26 years. Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha (HNF1A), glucokinase, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha, and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta genes are the mutations most frequently observed in cases of MODY. We herein report a case of HNF1A-MODY characterized by an early onset of diabetes. Genetic investigations revealed a de novo heterozygous substitution, N237D (HNF1A c.709A>G), in exon 3 of the HNF1A gene. Our case supports the hypothesis that de novo mutations are more frequent than expected. This recent evidence may suggest that conventional clinical diagnostic criteria for MODY should be revised and personalized according to the individual patient.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, onset before 25 years of age, absence of β-cell autoimmunity, and sustained pancreatic β-cell function. To date, mutations have been identified in at least 14 different genes, including six genes encoding proteins that, respectively, correspond to MODY subtypes 1-6: hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4α (HNF4α), glucokinase (GCK), HNF1α (HNF1 α), pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1), HNF1β (HNF1 β), and neurogenic differentiation 1 (NEUROD1). Diagnostic tools based on currently available genetic tests can facilitate the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients with MODY. Candidates for genetic testing include nonobese subjects with hyperglycemia, no evidence of β-cell autoimmunity, sustained β-cell function, and a strong family history of similar-type diabetes among first-degree relatives. Moreover, identification of the MODY subtype is important, given the subtype-related differences in the age of onset, clinical course and progression, type of hyperglycemia, and response to treatment. This review discusses the current perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment of MODY, particularly with regard to the six major subtypes (MODY 1-6).

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Treatment change following a genetic diagnosis of MODY is frequently indicated, but little is known about the factors predicting future treatment success. We therefore conducted the first prospective study to determine the impact of a genetic diagnosis on individuals with GCK-, HNF1A- or HNF4A-MODY in the UK, and to identify clinical characteristics predicting treatment success (i.e. HbA1c ≤58 mmol/mol [≤7.5%]) with the recommended treatment at 2 years. METHODS This was an observational, prospective, non-selective study of individuals referred to the Exeter Molecular Genetic Laboratory for genetic testing from December 2010 to December 2012. Individuals from the UK with GCK- or HNF1A/HNF4A-MODY who were not on recommended treatment at the time of genetic diagnosis, and who were diagnosed below the age of 30 years and were currently aged less than 50 years, were eligible to participate. RESULTS A total of 44 of 58 individuals (75.9%) changed treatment following their genetic diagnosis. Eight individuals diagnosed with GCK-MODY stopped all diabetes medication without experiencing any change in HbA1c (49.5 mmol/mol [6.6%] both before the genetic diagnosis and at a median of 1.25 years' follow-up without treatment, p = 0.88). A total of 36 of 49 individuals (73.5%) diagnosed with HNF1A/HNF4A-MODY changed treatment; however, of the 21 of these individuals who were being managed with diet or sulfonylurea alone at 2 years, only 13 (36.1% of the population that changed treatment) had an HbA1c ≤58 mmol/mol (≤7.5%). These individuals had a shorter diabetes duration (median 4.6 vs 18.1 years), lower HbA1c (58 vs 73 mmol/mol [7.5% vs 8.8%]) and lower BMI (median 24.2 vs 26.0 kg/m2) at the time of genetic diagnosis, compared with individuals (n = 23/36) with an HbA1c >58 mmol/mol (>7.5%) (or <58 mmol/mol [<7.5%] on additional treatment) at the 2 year follow-up. Overall, 64% (7/11) individuals with a diabetes duration of ≤11 years and an HbA1c of ≤69 mmol/mol (≤8.5%) at time of the genetic test achieved good glycaemic control (HbA1c ≤58 mmol/mol [≤7.5%]) with diet or sulfonylurea alone at 2 years, compared with no participants with a diabetes duration of >11 years and an HbA1c of >69 mmol/mol (>8.5%) at the time of genetic diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In participants with GCK-MODY, treatment cessation was universally successful, with no change in HbA1c at follow-up. In those with HNF1A/HNF4A-MODY, a shorter diabetes duration, lower HbA1c and lower BMI at genetic diagnosis predicted successful treatment with sulfonylurea/diet alone, supporting the need for early genetic diagnosis and treatment change. Our study suggests that, in individuals with HNF1A/HNF4A-MODY with a longer duration of diabetes (>11 years) at time of genetic test, rather than ceasing current treatment, a sulfonylurea should be added to existing therapy, particularly in those who are overweight or obese and have a high HbA1c.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1A)-diabetes is the most common monogenetic subtype of diabetes. Strict glycaemic control is crucial for a good prognosis for patients with HNF1A-diabetes. Sulfonylurea (SU) is used as a first-line therapy in HNF1A-diabetes. However, SU therapy may be problematic as it confers a high risk of hypoglycaemia. We hypothesise that low dose of SU in combination with a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor provides a safer and more efficacious treatment in patients with HNF1A-diabetes compared with SU as monotherapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In a randomised, double-blinded, crossover study, patients with HNF1A-diabetes will randomly be assigned to 16 weeks of treatment with glimepiride+linagliptin, 4 weeks of washout and 16 weeks of treatment with glimepiride+placebo (or vice versa). Treatment will be evaluated with continuous glucose monitoring and combined meal and bicycle tests conducted at baseline and at the end of each of the two treatment periods. The primary end point is the absolute difference in the mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions between the two treatments (glimepiride+linagliptin vs glimepiride+placebo) at the end of each treatment period. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol is approved by the Danish Medicines Agency, The Scientific-Ethical Committee of the Capital Region of Denmark (H-17014518) and the Danish Data Protection Agency. The trial will be carried out and monitored in compliance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines and in accordance with the latest version of the Declaration of Helsinki. Positive, negative and inconclusive results will be published at scientific conferences and as one or more scientific manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals with authorship in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' recommendations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER 2017-000204-15.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose associated with single gene mutations are less rare than previously thought and may account for more than 6% of patients attending a pediatric diabetes clinic. The number of loci involved in monogenic diabetes exceed 25, and appropriate genetic diagnosis is crucial to direct therapy, for genetic counseling and for prognosis of short- and long-term complications. Among patients with neonatal diabetes (i.e. with onset within first 6 months of life) and patients with Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY; an autosomal dominant form of diabetes), those carrying mutations in KCNJ11, ABCC8, HNF1A and HNF4A genes usually respond to oral therapy with sulphonylurea, while those bearing GCK mutations do not necessitate any treatment. Sensor-augmented continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion has been successfully employed in neonatal diabetes, and long-lasting effectiveness of sulfonylurea in KCNJ11 mutation carriers with neonatal diabetes well documented.

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
The hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNFs) namely HNF1α/β, FOXA1/2/3, HNF4α/γ and ONECUT1/2 are expressed in a variety of tissues and organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidney. The spatial and temporal manner of HNF expression regulates embryonic development and subsequently the development of multiple tissues during adulthood. Though the HNFs were initially identified individually based on their roles in the liver, numerous studies have now revealed that the HNFs cross-regulate one another and exhibit synergistic relationships in the regulation of tissue development and function. The complex HNF transcriptional regulatory networks have largely been elucidated in rodent models, but less so in human biological systems. Several heterozygous mutations in these HNFs were found to cause diseases in humans but not in rodents, suggesting clear species-specific differences in mutational mechanisms that remain to be uncovered. In this review, we compare and contrast the expression patterns of the HNFs, the HNF cross-regulatory networks and how these liver-enriched transcription factors serve multiple functions in the liver and beyond, extending our focus to the pancreas and kidney. We also summarise the insights gained from both human and rodent studies of mutations in several HNFs that are known to lead to different disease conditions.

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
Diabetes mellitus with autosomal dominant inheritance, i.e., maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), is a genetic form of diabetes mellitus. The MODY phenotype is associated with gene mutations leading to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Here, we present the clinical case of a 50-year-old proband with familial diabetes mellitus in five generations (proband, her mother, grandmother, great-grandfather, and son). This disease is most likely associated with the novel Ser6Arg mutation in the HNF1A gene, which was identified in four family members. The mutation was not detected in MODY patients (126 subjects), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (188 subjects), and in a general population sample (564 subjects).

Abstract
Background Transcription factors (TFs), the key players in transcriptional regulation, have attracted great experimental attention, yet the functions of most human TFs remain poorly understood. Recent capabilities in genome-wide protein binding profiling have stimulated systematic studies of the hierarchical organization of human gene regulatory network and DNA-binding specificity of TFs, shedding light on combinatorial gene regulation. We show here that these data also enable a systematic annotation of the biological functions and functional diversity of TFs. Result We compiled a human gene regulatory network for 384 TFs covering the 146,096 TF–target gene (TF–TG) relationships, extracted from over 850 ChIP-seq experiments as well as the literature. By integrating this network of TF–TF and TF–TG relationships with 3715 functional concepts from six sources of gene function annotations, we obtained over 9000 confident functional annotations for 279 TFs. We observe extensive connectivity between TFs and Mendelian diseases, GWAS phenotypes, and pharmacogenetic pathways. Further, we show that TFs link apparently unrelated functions, even when the two functions do not share common genes. Finally, we analyze the pleiotropic functions of TFs and suggest that the increased number of upstream regulators contributes to the functional pleiotropy of TFs. Conclusion Our computational approach is complementary to focused experimental studies on TF functions, and the resulting knowledge can guide experimental design for the discovery of unknown roles of TFs in human disease and drug response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) has not been previously studied in Ukraine. We investigated the genetic etiology in a selected cohort of patients with diabetes diagnosed before 18 years of age, and in their family members. METHODS Genetic testing of the most prevalent MODY genes (GCK, HNF1A, HNF4A, HNF1B and INS) was undertaken for 36 families (39 affected individuals) by Sanger or targeted next generation sequencing. RESULTS A genetic diagnosis of MODY was made in 15/39 affected individuals from 12/36 families (33%). HNF1A and HNF4A MODY were the most common subtypes, accounting for 9/15 of MODY cases. Eight patients with HNF1A or HNF4A MODY and inadequate glycemic control were successfully transferred to sulfonylureas. Median HbA1c decreased from 67 mmol/mol (range 58-69) to 47 mmol/mol (range 43-50) (8.3% [7.5-8.5] to 6.4% [6.1-6.7]) 3 months after transfer (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Genetic testing identified pathogenic HNF1A and HNF4A variants as the most common cause of MODY in Ukraine. Transfer to sulfonylureas substantially improved the glycemic control of these patients.

Abstract
The diagnosis of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) has high clinical significance in young patients (no absolute need for exogenous insulin; normoglycaemia in most patients achieved by dieting or taking oral hypoglycaemic agents) and their relatives (high probability of first-degree relatives being carriers of mutations, which requires a thorough collection of family history and determination of the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism).
Aim. This study aimed was to determine the clinical characteristics of different subtypes of MODY in a Siberian region.
Materials and Methods. We performed an examination, biochemical and hormonal blood tests, ultrasound and molecular genetic testing of 20 patients with a clinical diagnosis of MODY.
Results. Four subtypes of MODY were verified: MODY2 in 11 patients, MODY3 in two, MODY8 in one and MODY12 in two. Eleven patients (69%) exhibited no clinical manifestations of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, and one patient showed weight loss during early stage of the disease. Comorbidities included dyslipidemia, thyroid gland disorders and arterial hypertension. One patient (6%) exhibited diabetic nephropathy; two (13%), diabetic retinopathy and three (19%), peripheral neuropathy of lower legs. All patients achieved the target carbohydrate metabolism; the level of C-peptide was within the reference range.
Conclusion. Four different subtypes of MODY (2, 3, 8, 12) were diagnosed in the present study, which differed in their clinical characteristics, presence of complications and treatment strategies. Our knowledge of monogenic forms of diabetes is expanding with the development in molecular genetics, but several aspects related to them require further study.
