  • Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is caused by autosomal dominant pathogenic variants in one of 14 currently known monogenic genes. Characteristics of patients with MODY include early-onset clinical disease with a family history of diabetes and negative autoantibodies and may present with heterogeneous phenotypes according to the different subtypes. Here, we report a patient with early-onset diabetes who presented asymptomatic mild fasting hyperglycemia with the absence of autoantibodies. She was diagnosed with glucokinase (GCK)-MODY caused by a GCK variant, c.1289T>C (p.L430P), identified by targeted gene-panel testing, and the affected father had the same variant. We interpreted this rare missense variant as a likely pathogenic variant and then she stopped taking oral medication. This case highlights the usefulness of gene-panel testing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of MODY. We also note the importance of familial genetic testing and genetic counseling for the proper interpretation of MODY variants.

  • 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.

  • Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by a heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes. MODY has autosomal dominant inheritance, a primary defect in pancreatic β-cell, and an early onset. Discriminating MODY from type 1 or type 2 diabetes is often challenging at first. To date, 14 different disease causing mutations have been identified in MODY patients worldwide. Targeted DNA sequencing is the gold standard to diagnose MODY and their asymptomatic relatives. Next-generation sequencing may help successfully to diagnose MODY patients and identify new MODY genes. In this review, the current perspectives on diagnosis and treatment of MODY and discrepancy in the disease-causing mutations between the Asian and Caucasian patients with MODY are summarized.

  • Mutation in HNF1B, the hepatocyte nuclear factor-$1{\beta}$ (HNF-$1{\beta}$) gene, results in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 5, which is characterized by gradual impairment of insulin secretion. However, the functional role of HNF-$1{\beta}$ in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism is not fully understood. We identified a family with early-onset diabetes that fulfilled the criteria of MODY. Sanger sequencing revealed that a heterozygous P159L (CCT to CTT in codon 159 in the DNA-binding domain) mutation in HNF1B was segregated according to the affected status. To investigate the functional consequences of this HNF1B mutation, we generated a P159L HNF1B construct. The wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs were transfected into COS-7 cells in the presence of the promoter sequence of human glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2). The luciferase reporter assay revealed that P159L HNF1B had decreased transcriptional activity compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed reduced DNA binding activity of P159L HNF1B. In the MIN6 pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell line, overexpression of the P159L mutant was significantly associated with decreased mRNA levels of GLUT2 compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). However, INS expression was not different between the wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs. These findings suggests that the impaired insulin secretion in this family with the P159L HNF1B mutation may be related to altered GLUT2 expression in ${\beta}$-cells rather than decreased insulin gene expression. In conclusion, we have identified a Korean family with an HNF1B mutation and characterized its effect on the pathogenesis of diabetes.

  • Purpose:Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is the most common hereditary form of diabetes mellitus (DM), with similar clinical manifestations to type 1 or type 2 DM, leading to diagnostic ambiguity. Despite increased genetic research on monogenic DM, studies with Asian populations are limited. Therefore, we investigated mutation in possible monogenic DM and MODY in Korean children and aldolescents. Methods: Targeted panel exome sequencing including 32 targets genes was performed for 41 patients with suspected monogenic DM at Kyungpook National University Children's Hospital. Results: Variants were detected in 19 patients, including those in known MODY-associated genes (HNF4A, GCK, HNF1A, CEL, PAX4, INS, and BLK) and monogenic DM-associated genes (WFS1, FRX6, and GLIS3). Conclusion: MODY variants were detected more than expected. Targeted exon sequencing is helpful in diagnosing MODY or possible monogenic DM patients.

  • MODY는 일반적으로 제 2 형 당뇨의 특수형으로 25세 이전에 발병하며 상염색체 우성으로 유전되 며 인슐린 분비장애를 특징으로 한다. GCK와 HNF-1α의 유전자 돌연변이는 제 2 형 당뇨에서 가장 큰 원인 중에 하나이다. 따라서 이들 유전자다형성의 연관성을 다양한 분석 방법으로 연구할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. GCK와 HNF-1α 유전자의 exon과 exon에 근접한 intron을 실험하였고, 또한 promotor까지 PCR-DHPLC (Polymerase Chain Reaction - Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography) 방법과 direct sequencing 방 법을 사용하였다. 시료는 11명의 환자와 20명의 정상인에서 DNA를 추출하였고 GCK와 HNF-1α의 단일 염기 다형성을 PCR-DHPLC 방법으로 확인하였다. 결과적으로 GCK 유전자에서는 1개(R135G)를 검출하였고 HNF-1α 유전자에서는 2개(I27L, S487N)를 검출하였으며 intron 8에서도 돌연변이를 검출할 수 있었다.

  • mouse chromesome2에 있는 agouti locus는 정상적으로는 털색깔을 조절하는 gene이다. mouse agouti gene은 최근에 cloning 되었고 131 amino acid peptide와 consensus signal peptide를 encode한다고 보고되었다. 이 논문에서 interspecies-DNA hybridization approach를 이용하여 mouse agouti gene의 human homologue를 cloning 하였다. Sequence analysis 결과, 이는 mouse gene에 85% 유사하였고 consensus signal peptide sequence 를 포함하는 132 amino acid를 coding하였다. somatic-cell hybrid mapping pannel과 Fluorescence-in-situ hybridization에 의한 chromosomal mapping을 한 결과, agouti gene은 MODY (maturity onset diabetes of the young), myeloid leukemia locus 등이 위치한 human chromosome 20q 11.2에 mapping 되었다. 성인 tissue로부터 추출한 RNA를 이용한 발현연구에 의하면 human agouti gene은 adipose tissue와 teatis에 발현되었다.
