Abstract
Glucose disorders are the most common endocrine condition in the primary care setting. The conditions overlap and are better viewed as a spectrum rather than discrete entities. Multiple treatment agents are now available for diabetes mellitus which include long-acting and short-acting insulins and medications targeting the various pathways of diabetes including liver gluconeogenesis, increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity, stimulating pancreatic insulin production, eliminating glucose renally, decreasing carbohydrate gastrointestinal absorption, and targeting the body's incretin system. Various endocrine conditions can cause secondary hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Medications and physiologic stress can affect glucose levels. Genetic syndromes causing enzyme deficiencies underlie a small portion of glucose disorders.

A Review of the Literature and Case Discussion. Curr Diab Rep 2024; 24:197-206.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) are monogenic forms of diabetes resulting from genetic defects, usually transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, leading to β-cell dysfunction. Due to the lack of homogeneous clinical features and univocal diagnostic criteria, MODY is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes, hence its diagnosis relies mostly on genetic testing. Fourteen subtypes of MODY have been described to date. Here, we review ABCC8-MODY pathophysiology, genetic and clinical features, and current therapeutic options. RECENT FINDINGS ABCC8-MODY is caused by mutations in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8) gene, involved in the regulation of insulin secretion. The complexity of ABCC8-MODY genetic picture is mirrored by a variety of clinical manifestations, encompassing a wide spectrum of disease severity. Such inconsistency of genotype-phenotype correlation has not been fully understood. A correct diagnosis is crucial for the choice of adequate treatment and outcome improvement. By targeting the defective gene product, sulfonylureas are the preferred medications in ABCC8-MODY, although efficacy vary substantially. We illustrate three case reports in whom a diagnosis of ABCC8-MODY was suspected after the identification of novel ABCC8 variants that turned out to be of unknown significance. We discuss that careful interpretation of genetic testing is needed even on the background of a suggestive clinical context. We highlight the need for further research to unravel ABCC8-MODY disease mechanisms, as well as to clarify the pathogenicity of identified ABCC8 variants and their influence on clinical presentation and response to therapy.

The Importance of Molecular Genetic Testing for Precision Diagnostics, Management, and Genetic Counseling in MODY Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6318. [PMID: 38928025 PMCID: PMC11204182 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25126318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is part of the heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes (MD) characterized by the non-immune dysfunction of pancreatic β-cells. The diagnosis of MODY still remains a challenge for clinicians, with many cases being misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM/T2DM), and over 80% of cases remaining undiagnosed. With the introduction of modern technologies, important progress has been made in deciphering the molecular mechanisms and heterogeneous etiology of MD, including MODY. The aim of our study was to identify genetic variants associated with MODY in a group of patients with early-onset diabetes/prediabetes in whom a form of MD was clinically suspected. Genetic testing, based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, was carried out either in a targeted manner, using gene panels for monogenic diabetes, or by analyzing the entire exome (whole-exome sequencing). GKC-MODY 2 was the most frequently detected variant, but rare forms of KCNJ11-MODY 13, specifically, HNF4A-MODY 1, were also identified. We have emphasized the importance of genetic testing for early diagnosis, MODY subtype differentiation, and genetic counseling. We presented the genotype-phenotype correlations, especially related to the clinical evolution and personalized therapy, also emphasizing the particularities of each patient in the family context.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Kir6.2 Variants Reveals Potential Association with Diabetes Mellitus. Molecules 2024; 29:1904.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a problem for the healthcare system worldwide. DM has very serious complications such as blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease. In addition to the very bad socioeconomic impacts, it influences patients and their families and communities. The global costs of DM and its complications are huge and expected to rise by the year 2030. DM is caused by genetic and environmental risk factors. Genetic testing will aid in early diagnosis and identification of susceptible individuals or populations using ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels present in different tissues such as the pancreas, myocardium, myocytes, and nervous tissues. The channels respond to different concentrations of blood sugar, stimulation by hormones, or ischemic conditions. In pancreatic cells, they regulate the secretion of insulin and glucagon. Mutations in the KCNJ11 gene that encodes the Kir6.2 protein (a major constituent of KATP channels) were reported to be associated with Type 2 DM, neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Kir6.2 harbors binding sites for ATP and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PIP2). The ATP inhibits the KATP channel, while the (PIP2) activates it. A Kir6.2 mutation at tyrosine330 (Y330) was demonstrated to reduce ATP inhibition and predisposes to NDM. In this study, we examined the effect of mutations on the Kir6.2 structure using bioinformatics tools and molecular dynamic simulations (SIFT, PolyPhen, SNAP2, PANTHER, PhD&SNP, SNP&Go, I-Mutant, MuPro, MutPred, ConSurf, HOPE, and GROMACS). Our results indicated that M199R, R201H, R206H, and Y330H mutations influence Kir6.2 structure and function and therefore may cause DM. We conclude that MD simulations are useful techniques to predict the effects of mutations on protein structure. In addition, the M199R, R201H, R206H, and Y330H variant in the Kir6.2 protein may be associated with DM. These results require further verification in protein-protein interactions, Kir6.2 function, and case-control studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) is a rare genetic disorder characterized as mild fasting hyperglycemia with low risk of vascular complications caused by glucokinase gene mutation. This study aims to investigate metabolites alteration associated with MODY2, exploring possible mechanism underlying characteristic clinical manifestations and low cardiovascular risks of MODY2 and providing serum metabolite biomarkers to facilitating MODY2 diagnosis. METHODS Fasting serum samples from MODY2, type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and healthy individuals were collected. By using targeted metabolomics via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry platform, we quantified the metabolites involved in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and one-carbon metabolism. RESULTS Metabolomic profiling revealed significant difference of intermediates from central metabolism cycle, methionine cycle and several amino acids between MODY2 and T1DM groups. Among these, serum citrate, α-ketoglutaric acid, serine, glycine, glutamine and homocysteine were significantly elevated in MODY2 patients compared with T1DM patients; and compared with healthy subjects, malate and methionine levels were significantly increased in the two groups of diabetic patients. The correlation analysis with clinical indexes showed that α- ketoglutarate, serine, glycine, and glutamine were negatively correlated with blood glucose indicators including fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and GA, while citrate was positively correlated with C-peptide. And homocysteine displayed positive correlation with HDL and negative with C-reactive protein, which shed light on the mechanism of mild symptoms and low risk of cardiovascular complications in MODY2 patients. A panel of 4 metabolites differentiated MODY2 from T1DM with AUC of 0.924, and a combination of clinical indices and metabolite also gained good diagnostic value with AUC 0.948. CONCLUSION In this research, we characterized the metabolite profiles of TCA cycle and one-carbon metabolism in MODY2 and T1DM and identified promising diagnostic biomarkers for MODY2. This study may provide novel insights into the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of MODY2.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cardio-cerebrovascular events are severe complications of diabetes. OBJECTIVE We aim to compare the incident risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events in maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. METHODS Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and MODY were diagnosed by whole exome sequencing. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of the first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), including acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, unstable angina pectoris, and cardio-cerebrovascular-related mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were applied and adjusted to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for the incident risk of MACE in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, MODY, and MODY subgroups compared with people without diabetes (control group). RESULTS Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and MODY accounted for 2.7%, 68.1%, and 11.4% of 26 198 participants with diabetes from UK Biobank. During a median follow-up of 13 years, 1028 MACEs occurred in the control group, contrasting with 70 events in patients with type 1 diabetes (HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.69-2.74, P < .05), 5020 events in patients with type 2 diabetes (HR 7.02, 95% CI 6.56-7.51, P < .05), and 717 events in MODY (HR 5.79, 95% CI 5.26-6.37, P < .05). The hazard of MACE in HNF1B-MODY was highest among MODY subgroups (HR 11.00, 95% CI 5.47-22.00, P = 1.5 × 10-11). CONCLUSION MODY diagnosed by genetic analysis represents higher prevalence than the clinical diagnosis in UK Biobank. The risk of incident cardio-cerebrovascular events in MODY ranks between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutation of the gene encoding Hepatocyte Nuclear transcription Factor-1 Beta (HNF1B) causes a rare monogenetic subtype of Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY). HNF1B-related MODY results in the dysfunction of multiple organ systems. However, genetic analysis enables personalized medicine for patients and families. AIMS To understand the clinical characteristics and explore the gene mutations in Croatian patients. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study of individuals (and their relatives) who were, due to the clinical suspicion of MODY, referred to the Department of Laboratory Diagnostics at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb for genetic testing. RESULTS A total of 118 participants, 56% females, were screened. Seven patients (three females) from five families were identified to have HNF1B-related MODY. The median age at diagnosis was 31 (11-45) years, the median c-peptide was 0.8 (0.55-1.39) nmol/L, the median HbA1c was 9.1 (5.7-18.4)%, and the median BMI was 22.9 kg/m2 (17-24.6). Patients had a variety of clinical manifestations; kidney disease was not as frequent as liver lesions, neuropsychiatric symptoms, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, and hypomagnesemia. We identified two new pathogenic mutations (c.1006C > G protein p.His336Asp on exon 4 and c.1373T > G p protein Val458Gly on exon 7). CONCLUSIONS In a study involving Croatian patients, new genetic (two previously unknown mutations) and clinical (diverse range of clinical presentations) aspects of HNF1B-related MODY were found.

[PMID: 36874436 PMCID: PMC9979303 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i5.1099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most common monogenic type of diabetes. Recently, 14 gene mutations have been found to be associated with MODY. In addition, the KLF11 gene mutation is the pathogenic gene of MODY7. To date, the clinical and functional characteristics of the novel KLF11 mutation c. G31A have not yet been reported.
CASE SUMMARY We report of a 30-year-old male patient with a one-year history of nonketosis-prone diabetes and a 3-generation family history of diabetes. The patient was found to carry a KLF11 gene mutation. Therefore, the clinical data of family members were collected and investigated. A total of four members of the family were found to have heterozygous mutations in the KLF11 gene c. G31A, which resulted in a change in the corresponding amino acid p.D11N. Three patients had diabetes mellitus, and one patient had impaired glucose tolerance.
CONCLUSION The heterozygous mutation of the KLF11 gene c.G31A (p. D11N) is a new mutation site of MODY7. Subsequently, the main treatment included dietary interventions and oral drugs.

Cheng Y, Zhong DP, Ren L, Yang H, Tian CF. Unusual manifestations of young woman with MODY5 based on 17q12 recurrent deletion syndrome. BMC Endocr Disord 2022; 22:77. [PMID: 35346144 PMCID: PMC8962578 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-022-00989-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) is a rare subtype of MODYs. It is caused by mutations of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox b gene (HNF1B). 17q12 recurrent deletion syndrome usually results in MODY5 because of the deletion of HNF1B. These patients often have other clinical manifestations besides diabetes. Refractory hypomagnesemia was a clue for further examination in this patient. But she lacked structural abnormalities of the genitourinary system and neurodevelopmental disorders that are common manifestations in patients with 17q12 recurrent deletion syndrome. Some atypical patients deserved attention. CASE PRESENTATION A 21-year-old young woman was admitted to our hospital for severe malnutrition and gastrointestinal symptoms. At age 20, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and was administered oral antidiabetic drugs. Soon afterward, the patient discontinued the medication on her own accord and then went to the hospital again due to diabetic ketoacidosis. After insulin treatment, diabetic ketoacidosis was cured and blood glucose was controlled satisfactorily. But intractable nausea, vomiting, and persistent weight loss were stubborn. Further examination revealed that the patient had hypokalemia and hard rectification hypomagnesemia. Genetic testing revealed about 1.85 Mb heterozygous fragment deletion on chromosome 17 and deletion of exons 1-9 of HNF1B heterozygosity missing was approved. Finally, the patient was diagnosed MODY5. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The 17q12 recurrent deletion syndrome is characterized by MODY5, structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract, and neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders. This patient did not have any structural abnormalities of the genitourinary system and neuropsychiatric disorders, which is rare. She had experienced a period of misdiagnosis before being diagnosed with 17q12 recurrent deletion syndrome, and hypomagnesemia was an important clue for her diagnosis. Therefore, diabetic physicians should be alert to a special type of diabetes if patients have unexplained signs and symptoms. The absence of well-known features of HNF1B disease does not exclude MODY5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) patients have clinical heterogeneity as shown by many studies. Thus, often it is misdiagnosed to type 1 or type 2 diabetes(T2DM). The aim of this study is to evaluate MODY mutations in adult T2DM patients suspicious in terms of MODY, and to show clinical and laboratory differences between these two situations. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 72 type 2 diabetic patients and their relatives (35F/37M) who had been suspected for MODY and referred to genetic department for mutation analysis. The gene mutations for MODY have been assessed in the laboratory of Marmara University genetics. Totally 67 (32F/35M; median age 36.1) diabetic patients were analyzed for 7 MODY mutations. Twelve patients who have uncertain mutation (VUS) were excluded from study for further evaluation. MODY(+) (n:30) patients and T2DM patients (n:25) were compared for clinical and laboratory parameters. RESULTS In MODY(+) subjects, mutations in GCK (MODY 2) (n:12; 40%) were the most common followed by HNF4A (MODY 1) (n:4; 13.3%). Diabetes diagnosis age was younger in MODY(+) group but not statistically significant. Sixty-six percent of MODY(+) subjects had diabetes history at 3-consecutive generations in their family compared with 28% of T2DM patients statistically significant (p:0.006). Gender, BMI, C-peptide, HbA1c, lipid parameters, creatinine, GFR, microalbuminuria, vitamin D and calcium were not statistically different between the groups. CONCLUSION According to present study results, MODY mutation positivity is most probable in young autoantibody (-) diabetic patients diagnosed before 30 years of age, who have first degree family history of diabetes.

Abstract
Background Previously, numerous case-control studies have highlighted variants responsible for Maturity onset diabetes of young (MODY). However, these studies have been conducted among diverse populations and hence yielded contradictory results. We, therefore, performed a meta-analysis to precisely find the association of SNPs with the disease for the HNF1A gene. Objective Meta-analysis of clinically defined studies deciphering mutations in the HNF1A gene responsible for the development of MODY3 was conducted among various populations to determine associations using statistical approaches. Methods The curation of 505 research articles published between the years 2000-2021 was carried out. Visualization of data-related protocols and statistical-analysis were conducted, which led to the identification of highly prevalent mutations among different populations (majorly Europe). Further comparison between the frequencies of the control (healthy population) and test (diseased population) dataset generated through curation was performed. Results We identified nine MODY3 mutations (rs587776825, rs1169288, rs1800574, rs2464196, rs137853244, rs137853238, rs587780357, rs137853240 and rs137853243) at the genome-wide significance level ( p < 5.0 × 10-8). The present study confirmed that the data does not follow a normal distribution. Further, the data was confirmed to be a more homogenous type with frequencies having a significant association with the disease. Conclusion This meta-analysis found significant associations of mutations in HNF1A with MODY3, consistent with previous studies. Our findings should help elucidate the mutations in a compiled form responsible for causing MODY3.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular basis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) by targeted-gene sequencing of 20 genes related to monogenic diabetes, estimate the frequency and describe the clinical characteristics of monogenic diabetes and MODY in the Trakya Region of Turkey. METHODS A panel of 20 monogenic diabetes related genes were screened in 61 cases. Illumina NextSeq550 system was used for sequencing. Pathogenicity of the variants were assessed by bioinformatics prediction software programs and segregation analyses. RESULTS In 29 (47.5%) cases, 31 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the GCK, ABCC8, KCNJ11, HNF1A, HNF4A genes and in 11 (18%) cases, 14 variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in the GCK, RFX6, CEL, PDX1, KCNJ11, HNF1A, G6PC2, GLIS3 and KLF11 genes were identified. There were six different pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants and six different VUS which were novel. CONCLUSION This is the first study including molecular studies of twenty monogenic diabetes genes in Turkish cases in the Trakya Region. The results showed that pathogenic variants in the GCK gene are the leading cause of MODY in our population. A high frequency of novel variants (32.4%-12/37) in the current study, suggests that multiple gene analysis provides accurate genetic diagnosis in MODY.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Hungarian MODY Patients-Part II: Glucokinase MODY Is the Most Prevalent Subtype Responsible for about 70% of Confirmed Cases. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11080771. [PMID: 34440516 PMCID: PMC8400228 DOI: 10.3390/life11080771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
MODY2 is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene that result in persistent, stable and mild fasting hyperglycaemia (5.6–8.0 mmol/L, glycosylated haemoglobin range of 5.6–7.3%). Patients with GCK mutations usually do not require any drug treatment, except during pregnancy. The GCK gene is considered to be responsible for about 20% of all MODY cases, transcription factors for 67% and other genes for 13% of the cases. Based on our findings, GCK and HNF1A mutations together are responsible for about 90% of the cases in Hungary, this ratio being higher than the 70% reported in the literature. More than 70% of these patients have a mutation in the GCK gene, this means that GCK-MODY is the most prevalent form of MODY in Hungary. In the 91 index patients and their 72 family members examined, we have identified a total of 65 different pathogenic (18) and likely pathogenic (47) GCK mutations of which 28 were novel. In two families, de novo GCK mutations were detected. About 30% of the GCK-MODY patients examined were receiving unnecessary OAD or insulin therapy at the time of requesting their genetic testing, therefore the importance of having a molecular genetic diagnosis can lead to a major improvement in their quality of life.

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
Diabetes is a common disorder with a heterogeneous clinical presentation and an enormous burden on health care worldwide. About 1-6% of patients with diabetes suffer from maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), the most common form of monogenic diabetes with autosomal dominant inheritance. MODY is genetically and clinically heterogeneous and caused by genetic variations in pancreatic β-cell development and insulin secretion. We report here new findings from targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 13 MODY-related genes. A sample of 22 unrelated pediatric patients with MODY and 13 unrelated healthy controls were recruited from a Turkish population. Targeted NGS was performed with Miseq 4000 (Illumina) to identify genetic variations in 13 MODY-related genes: HNF4A, GCK, HNF1A, PDX1, HNF1B, NEUROD1, KLF11, CEL, PAX4, INS, BLK, ABCC8, and KCNJ11. The NGS data were analyzed adhering to the Genome Analysis ToolKit (GATK) best practices pipeline, and variant filtering and annotation were performed. In the patient sample, we identified 43 MODY-specific genetic variations that were not present in the control group, including 11 missense mutations and 4 synonymous mutations. Importantly, and to the best of our knowledge, the missense mutations NEUROD1 p.D202E, KFL11 p.R461Q, BLK p.G248R, and KCNJ11 p.S385F were first associated with MODY in the present study. These findings contribute to the worldwide knowledge base on MODY and molecular correlates of clinical heterogeneity in monogenic childhood diabetes. Further comparative population genetics and functional genomics studies are called for, with an eye to discovery of novel diagnostics and personalized medicine in MODY. Because MODY is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, advances in MODY diagnostics with NGS stand to benefit diabetes overall clinical care as well.

Abstract
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), is a group of monogenic diabetes disorders. Rodent models for MODY do not fully recapitulate the human phenotypes, calling for models generated in human cells. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), capable of differentiation towards pancreatic cells, possess a great opportunity to model MODY disorders in vitro. Here, we review the models for MODY diseases in hPSCs to date and the molecular lessons learnt from them. We also discuss the limitations and challenges that these types of models are still facing.

Abstract
Background The most common type of monogenic diabetes is maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of endocrine disorders that affect 1–5% of all patients with diabetes mellitus. MODY is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance but de novo mutations have been reported. Clinical features of MODY include young-onset hyperglycemia, evidence of residual pancreatic function, and lack of beta cell autoimmunity or insulin resistance. Glucose-lowering medications are the main treatment options for MODY. The growing recognition of the clinical and public health significance of MODY by clinicians, researchers, and governments may lead to improved screening and diagnostic practices. Consequently, this review article aims to discuss the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of MODY based on relevant literature published from 1975 to 2020. Main body The estimated prevalence of MODY from European cohorts is 1 per 10,000 in adults and 1 per 23,000 in children. Since little is known about the prevalence of MODY in African, Asian, South American, and Middle Eastern populations, further research in non-European cohorts is needed to help elucidate MODY’s exact prevalence. Currently, 14 distinct subtypes of MODY can be diagnosed through clinical assessment and genetic analysis. Various genetic mutations and disease mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of MODY. Management of MODY is subtype-specific and includes diet, oral antidiabetic drugs, or insulin. Conclusions Incidence and prevalence estimates for MODY are derived from epidemiologic studies of young people with diabetes who live in Europe, Australia, and North America. Mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of MODY include defective transcriptional regulation, abnormal metabolic enzymes, protein misfolding, dysfunctional ion channels, or impaired signal transduction. Clinicians should understand the epidemiology and pathogenesis of MODY because such knowledge is crucial for accurate diagnosis, individualized patient management, and screening of family members.

Abstract
The inheritance of variants that lead to coding changes in, or the mis-expression of, genes critical to pancreatic beta cell function can lead to alterations in insulin secretion and increase the risk of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recently developed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) gene editing tools provide a powerful means of understanding the impact of identified variants on cell function, growth, and survival and might ultimately provide a means, most likely after the transplantation of genetically "corrected" cells, of treating the disease. Here, we review some of the disease-associated genes and variants whose roles have been probed up to now. Next, we survey recent exciting developments in CRISPR/Cas9 technology and their possible exploitation for β cell functional genomics. Finally, we will provide a perspective as to how CRISPR/Cas9 technology may find clinical application in patients with diabetes.

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.
