Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing, leading to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) characterized by excessive accumulation of liver fat and a risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The driver gene mutations may play the roles of passengers that occur in single 'hotspots' and can promote tumorigenesis from benign to malignant lesions. We investigated the impact of high body weight and BMI on HCC survival using The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) dataset. To explore the effects of obesity-related gene mutations on HCC, we collected driver mutation genes in 34 TCGA patients with BMI ≥ 27 and 23 TCGA patients with BMI < 27. The digital PCR performing the PBMC samples for the variant rate by clinical cohort of 96 NAFLD patients. Our analysis showed that obesity leads to significantly worse survival outcomes in HCC. Using cbioportal, we identified 414 driver mutation genes in patients with obesity and 127 driver mutation genes in non-obese patients. Functional analysis showed that obese-related genes significantly enriched the regulated lipid and insulin pathways in HCC. The insulin secretion pathway in patients with obesity HCC-specific survival identified ABCC8 and PRKCB as significant genes (p < 0.001). It revealed significant differences in gene mutation and gene expression profiles compared to non-obese patients. The digital PCR test ABCC8 variants were detected in PBMC samples and caused a 14.5% variant rate, significantly higher than that of non-obese NAFLD patients. The study findings showed that the gene ABCC8 was a patient with the obesity-related gene in NAFLD, which provides the probability that ABCC8 mutation contributes to the pre-cancer lesion biomarker for HCC.

[PMID: 38225536 DOI: 10.1111/cge.14484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI; OMIM: 256450) is characterized by persistent insulin secretion despite severe hypoglycemia. The most common causes are variants in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 8(ABCC8) and potassium inwardly-rectifying channel subfamily J member 11(KCNJ11) genes. These encode ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel subunit sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) and inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir6.2) proteins. A 7-day-old male infant presented with frequent hypoglycemic episodes and was clinically diagnosed with CHI, underwent trio-whole-exome sequencing, revealing compound heterozygous ABCC8 variants (c.307C>T, p.His103Tyr; and c.3313_3315del, p.Ile1105del) were identified. In human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) and rat insulinoma cells (INS-1) transfected with wild-type and variant plasmids, KATP channels formed by p.His103Tyr were delivered to the plasma membrane, whereas p.Ile1105del or double variants (p.His103Tyr coupled with p.Ile1105del) failed to be transported to the plasma membrane. Compared to wild-type channels, the channels formed by the variants (p.His103Tyr; p.Ile1105del) had elevated basal [Ca2+]i, but did not respond to stimulation by glucose. Our results provide evidence that the two ABCC8 variants may be related to CHI owing to defective trafficking and dysfunction of KATP channels.

Identification of monogenic diabetes in an Australian cohort using the Exeter maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) probability calculator and next-generation sequencing gene panel testing. Acta Diabetol 2024; 61:181-188. [PMID: 37812285 PMCID: PMC10866744 DOI: 10.1007/s00592-023-02193-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
AIMS This study aims to describe the prevalence of monogenic diabetes in an Australian referral cohort, in relation to Exeter maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) probability calculator (EMPC) scores and next-generation sequencing with updated testing where relevant. METHODS State-wide 5-year retrospective cohort study of individuals referred for monogenic diabetes genetic testing. RESULTS After excluding individuals who had cascade testing for a familial variant (21) or declined research involvement (1), the final cohort comprised 40 probands. Incorporating updated testing, the final genetic result was positive (likely pathogenic/pathogenic variant) in 11/40 (27.5%), uncertain (variant of uncertain significance) in 8/40 (20%) and negative in 21/40 (52.5%) participants. Causative variants were found in GCK, HNF1A, MT-TL1 and HNF4A. Variants of uncertain significance included a novel multi-exonic GCK duplication. Amongst participants with EMPC scores ≥ 25%, a causative variant was identified in 37%. Cascade testing was positive in 9/10 tested relatives with diabetes and 0/6 tested relatives with no history of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Contemporary genetic testing produces a high yield of positive results in individuals with clinically suspected monogenic diabetes and their relatives with diabetes, highlighting the value of genetic testing for this condition. An EMPC score cutoff of ≥ 25% correctly yielded a positive predictive value of ≥ 25% in this multiethnic demographic. This is the first Australian study to describe EMPC scores in the Australian clinic setting, albeit a biased referral cohort. Larger studies may help characterise EMPC performance between ethnic subsets, noting differences in the expected probability of monogenic diabetes relative to type 2 diabetes.

The first compound heterozygous mutations in SLC12A3 and PDX1 genes: a unique presentation of Gitelman syndrome with distinct insulin resistance and familial diabetes insights. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 14:1327729. [PMID: 38333726 PMCID: PMC10850558 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1327729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Gitelman Syndrome (GS) patients frequently exhibit disrupted glucose metabolism, attributed to hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and heightened aldosterone. This study delved into the genetic underpinnings linked to insulin resistance and diabetes in a GS patient, contextualized within his family history. Methods The hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide loading test were performed to ascertain the presence of GS. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) evaluated glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Whole-exome sequencing, validated by Sanger sequencing, was employed to confirm gene mutations, which were then tracked among the patient's relatives. Results Symptoms and laboratory examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of GS. Comprehensive whole-exome sequencing, augmented by Sanger sequencing validation, revealed a compound heterozygous mutation within the SLC12A3 gene (c.1108G>C in exon 9, c.676G>A in exon 5 and c.2398G>A in exon 20) in the patient. The OGTT affirmed diabetes and heightened insulin resistance, distinct from previous patients with GS we evaluated. Further genetic analysis identified a missense heterozygous mutation (c.97C>G in exon 1) within the PDX1 gene, inherited from the patient's diabetic mother without GS. Furthermore, the patient's brother, with impaired glucose tolerance but regular potassium levels, also bore this mutation, hinting at additional impacts of the PDX1 gene mutation on glucose metabolism regulation beyond the known impacts of GS. Conclusion This study unveils unprecedented compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC12A3 and PDX1 genes in a GS patient. These findings illuminate the potential complex genetic factors influencing glucose metabolism disruptions in GS. Take-home message This research uncovers a novel combination of SLC12A3 and PDX1 gene mutations in a Gitelman Syndrome patient, revealing intricate genetic factors that potentially disrupt glucose metabolism and shedding light on familial diabetes links.

J Mol Cell Biol 2023; 15:mjad040. [PMID: 37327085 PMCID: PMC10847719 DOI: 10.1093/jmcb/mjad040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
A small fraction of patients diagnosed with obesity or diabetes mellitus has an underlying monogenic cause. Here, we constructed a targeted gene panel consisting of 83 genes reported to be causative for monogenic obesity or diabetes. We performed this panel in 481 patients to detect causative variants and compared these results with whole-exome sequencing (WES) data available for 146 of these patients. The coverage of targeted gene panel sequencing was significantly higher than that of WES. The diagnostic yield in patients sequenced by the panel was 32.9% with subsequent WES leading to three additional diagnoses with two novel genes. In total, 178 variants in 83 genes were detected in 146 patients by targeted sequencing. Three of the 178 variants were missed by WES, although the WES-only approach had a similar diagnostic yield. For the 335 samples only receiving targeted sequencing, the diagnostic yield was 32.2%. In conclusion, taking into account the lower costs, shorter turnaround time, and higher quality of data, targeted sequencing is a more effective screening method for monogenic obesity and diabetes compared to WES. Therefore, this approach could be routinely established and used as a first-tier test in clinical practice for specific patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES PAX4 (Paired box 4), a transcription factor crucial in pancreatic beta cell development and function, is a rare cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). What is new? A novel PAX4 variant is verified by family segregation study to be likely pathogenic. A child below 10 years of age diagnosed to have PAX4-MODY, differing from previously reported paediatric cases diagnosed in adolescence. CASE PRESENTATION A child with diabetes diagnosed at age 8 years, harbored a PAX4 variant, c.890G>A (p.Gly297Asp), initially classified as variant of uncertain significance. Eleven family members (7 adults and 4 children) with and without diabetes across 3 generations were genotyped. The variant co-segregated with diabetes or prediabetes across 3 generations of the family. The variant is reclassified as likely pathogenic according to standard guidelines. CONCLUSIONS Genetic testing is essential to confirm PAX4-MODY as the presentation is variable even within the same family. PAX4 mutation needs to be considered in MODY genetic testing in Asian patients.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a type of diabetes that does not entirely fit the usually encountered type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is a monogenic, familial and non-autoimmune diabetes among children and young adults resulting from autosomal dominant gene mutations.MODY diagnosis is confirmed by molecular genetic testing, which is costly. Therefore, it is rarely done.Nearly 1%-6% of diabetes has a monogenic cause but this is frequently misclassified as type 1 diabetes mellitus due to the lack of genetic testing. Therefore, a correct diagnosis of MODY is crucial for determining the plan of management. Furthermore, having a patient with MODY in a family indicates screening other family members. In this case report, we highlight that paediatric diabetes cases are not always type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus since two siblings incidentally presented with hyperglycaemia and a confirmed diagnosis of MODY type 10 was ultimately made. Moreover, their mother who was previously labelled as a case of type 1 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed later as MODY after genetic testing.

Abstract
RATIONALE Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most common type of monogenic diabetes, characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, the age of onset is often <25 years old, and the clinical manifestations are atypical. MODY12 is caused by a rare missense mutation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8) gene and more than 50 ABCC8 variants were associated with MODY12. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was a 30-year-old Chinese Han man. He was overweight with a poor control of blood glucose. DIAGNOSES The patient was diagnosed with MODY12. INTERVENTIONS The patient was given glimepiride (4 mg/d) with diet and exercise therapy to reduce blood glucose and weight. OUTCOMES The level of fasting blood glucose and C-peptide was improved after 1 year treatment as well as body weight. LESSONS A Chinese Han adult with a heterozygous missense mutation c.3976G > A (p.Glu1326Lys) was diagnosed with MODY12, which was the new pathogenic mutation for the disease. This report expands the spectrum of variants causing MODY12 and reduces misdiagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early-onset, multigenerational diabetes is a heterogeneous disease, which is often simplistically classified as type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes(T2D). However, its clinical and genetic characteristics have not been clearly elucidated. The aim of our study is to investigate the clinical features of early-onset diabetes involving three consecutive generations (eDia3) in a Chinese diabetes cohort. METHODS Of 6470 type 2 diabetic patients, 105 were identified as eDia3 (1.6%). After a case-control match on age, we compared the clinical characteristics of 89 eDia3 patients with 89 early-onset T2D patients without a family history of diabetes (eDia0). WES was carried out in 89 patients with eDia3. We primarily focused on 14 known maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) genes. Variants were predicted by ten tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2_HDIV, PolyPhen2_HVAR, LRT, Mutation Assessor, Mutation Taster, FATHMM, GERP++, PhyloP, and PhastCons). All suspected variants were then validated by Sanger sequencing and further investigated in the proband families. RESULTS Compared to age-matched eDia0, eDia3 patients had a younger age at diagnosis (26.5 ± 5.8 vs. 29.4 ± 5.3 years, P = 0.001), lower body mass index (25.5 ± 3.9 vs. 27.4 ± 4.6 kg/m2, P = 0.003), lower systolic blood pressure (120 ± 15 vs. 128 ± 18 mmHg, P = 0.003), and better metabolic profiles (including glucose and lipids). Of the 89 eDia3 patients, 10 (11.2%) carried likely pathogenic variants in genes (KLF11, GCK, ABCC8, PAX4, BLK and HNF1A) of MODY. CONCLUSIONS eDia3 patients had unique clinical features. Known MODY genes were not common causes in these patients.
