Abstract
Monogenic diabetes is caused by one or even more genetic variations, which may be uncommon yet have a significant influence and cause diabetes at an early age. Monogenic diabetes affects 1 to 5% of children, and early detection and gene-tically focused treatment of neonatal diabetes and maturity-onset diabetes of the young can significantly improve long-term health and well-being. The etiology of monogenic diabetes in childhood is primarily attributed to genetic variations affecting the regulatory genes responsible for beta-cell activity. In rare instances, mutations leading to severe insulin resistance can also result in the development of diabetes. Individuals diagnosed with specific types of monogenic diabetes, which are commonly found, can transition from insulin therapy to sulfonylureas, provided they maintain consistent regulation of their blood glucose levels. Scientists have successfully devised materials and methodologies to distinguish individuals with type 1 or 2 diabetes from those more prone to monogenic diabetes. Genetic screening with appropriate findings and interpretations is essential to establish a prognosis and to guide the choice of therapies and management of these interrelated ailments. This review aims to design a comprehensive literature summarizing genetic insights into monogenetic diabetes in children and adolescents as well as summarizing their diagnosis and mana-gement.

Genotype-phenotype correlation in Taiwanese children with diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1283907. [PMID: 38033998 PMCID: PMC10687152 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1283907] [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: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion. The aim of the study was to elucidate genetic etiologies of Taiwanese children with the most severe diazoxide-unresponsive CHI and analyze their genotype-phenotype correlations. Methods We combined Sanger with whole exome sequencing (WES) to analyze CHI-related genes. The allele frequency of the most common variant was estimated by single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotype analysis. The functional effects of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel variants were assessed using patch clamp recording and Western blot. Results Nine of 13 (69%) patients with ten different pathogenic variants (7 in ABCC8, 2 in KCNJ11 and 1 in GCK) were identified by the combined sequencing. The variant ABCC8 p.T1042QfsX75 identified in three probands was located in a specific haplotype. Functional study revealed the human SUR1 (hSUR1)-L366F KATP channels failed to respond to intracellular MgADP and diazoxide while hSUR1-R797Q and hSUR1-R1393C KATP channels were defective in trafficking. One patient had a de novo dominant mutation in the GCK gene (p.I211F), and WES revealed mosaicism of this variant from another patient. Conclusion Pathogenic variants in KATP channels are the most common underlying cause of diazoxide-unresponsive CHI in the Taiwanese cohort. The p.T1042QfsX75 variant in the ABCC8 gene is highly suggestive of a founder effect. The I211F mutation in the GCK gene and three rare SUR1 variants associated with defective gating (p.L366F) or traffic (p.R797Q and p.R1393C) KATP channels are also associated with the diazoxide-unresponsive phenotype.

Abstract
Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes which is detected by genetic testing. We looked at clinical and biochemcial variables that could help detect possible MODY among Asian Indians with youth-onset diabetes. From the diabetes electronic medical records of a diabetes care centre in Chennai in southern India, demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical details of 34 genetically confirmed MODY participants were extracted. They were compared with patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (n = 1011) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) (n = 1605), diagnosed below 30 years of age. Clinical and biochemical variables including body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin, HDL cholesterol, and C-peptide (fasting and stimulated) were analyzed to determine whether cut points could be derived to identify individuals who could be sent for genetic testing to diagnose or rule out MODY in this ethnic group. The age at diagnosis was higher for T2D (26.5 ± 4.0 years) compared to T1D (18.2 ± 6.1 years) and MODY (17.8 ± 6.0 years). Individuals with MODY had BMI, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and C-peptide levels which were intermediate between T1D and T2D. The identified probable parameters and their cut points to identify cases for MODY genetic screening were BMI 21.2-22.7 kg/m2, glycated hemoglobin 7.2-10%, HDL cholesterol 43-45 mg/dl, fasting C -peptide, 1.2-2.1 ng/ml and stimulated C-peptide, 2.1-4.5 ng/ml. Asian Indians with MODY have clinical features that are intermediate between T1D and T2D and selected biochemical parameters, especially stimulated C peptide cut points were the most useful to diagnose MODY.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by elevation of plasma glucose due to an insufficiency of the hormone insulin and is associated with both inadequate insulin secretion and impaired insulin action. The Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement Commemorates the work of Sir Frederick Banting, a member of the team that first used insulin to treat a patient with diabetes almost exactly one hundred years ago on 11 January 1922. This article is based on my Banting lecture of 2022 and concerns the mechanism of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, with an emphasis on the metabolic regulation of the KATP channel. This channel plays a central role in insulin release. Its closure in response to metabolically generated changes in the intracellular concentrations of ATP and MgADP stimulates β-cell electrical activity and insulin granule exocytosis. Activating mutations in KATP channel genes that impair the ability of the channel to respond to ATP give rise to neonatal diabetes. Impaired KATP channel regulation may also play a role in type 2 diabetes. I conjecture that KATP channel closure in response to glucose is reduced because of impaired glucose metabolism, which fails to generate a sufficient increase in ATP. Consequently, glucose-stimulated β-cell electrical activity is less. As ATP is also required for insulin granule exocytosis, both reduced exocytosis and less β-cell electrical activity may contribute to the reduction in insulin secretion. I emphasize that what follows is not a definitive review of the topic but a personal account of the contribution of my team to the field that is based on my Banting lecture.

Abstract
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare genetic disease characterized by severe hyperglycemia requiring insulin therapy with onset mostly within the first 6 months and rarely between 6-12 months of age. The disease can be classified into transient (TNDM) or permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM), or it can be a component of a syndrome. The most frequent genetic causes are abnormalities of the 6q24 chromosomal region and mutations of the ABCC8 or KCNJ11 genes coding for the pancreatic beta cell's potassium channel (KATP). After the acute phase, patients with ABCC8 or KCNJ11 mutations treated with insulin therapy can switch to hypoglycemic sulfonylureas (SU). These drugs close the KATP channel binding the SUR1 subunit of the potassium channel and restoring insulin secretion after a meal. The timing of this switch can be different and could affect long-term complications. We describe the different management and clinical outcome over the time of two male patients with NDM due to KCNJ11 pathogenetic variants. In both cases, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pumps (CSII) were used to switch therapy from insulin to SU, but at different times after the onset. The two patients kept adequate metabolic control after the introduction of glibenclamide; during the treatment, insulin secretion was evaluated with c-peptide, fructosamine, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which were within the normal range. In neonates or infants with diabetes mellitus, genetic testing is an indispensable diagnostic tool and KCNJ11 variants should be considered. A trial of oral glibenclamide must be considered, switching from insulin, the first line of NDM treatment. This therapy can improve neurological and neuropsychological outcomes, in particular in the case of earlier treatment initiation. A new modified protocol with glibenclamide administered several times daily according to continuous glucose monitoring profile indications, was used. Patients treated with glibenclamide maintain good metabolic control and prevent hypoglycemia, neurological damage, and apoptosis of beta cells during long-term administration.

Abstract
Monogenic forms of diabetes present opportunities for precision medicine as identification of the underlying genetic cause has implications for treatment and prognosis. However, genetic testing remains inconsistent across countries and health providers, often resulting in both missed diagnosis and misclassification of diabetes type. One of the barriers to deploying genetic testing is uncertainty over whom to test as the clinical features for monogenic diabetes overlap with those for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In this review, we perform a systematic evaluation of the evidence for the clinical and biochemical criteria used to guide selection of individuals with diabetes for genetic testing and review the evidence for the optimal methods for variant detection in genes involved in monogenic diabetes. In parallel we revisit the current clinical guidelines for genetic testing for monogenic diabetes and provide expert opinion on the interpretation and reporting of genetic tests. We provide a series of recommendations for the field informed by our systematic review, synthesizing evidence, and expert opinion. Finally, we identify major challenges for the field and highlight areas for future research and investment to support wider implementation of precision diagnostics for monogenic diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Activating variants of the ABCC8 gene cause neonatal diabetes or maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). We report three cases of MODY type 12 caused by variants in the ABCC8 encoding sulphonylurea receptor 1, and the experience of switching from insulin therapy to sulphonylurea therapy. CASE PRESENTATIONS We describe a 12.5-year-old girl with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus, and two diabetes mellitus cases with variants in the ABCC8 gene. Two of these cases were successfully switched from subcutaneous insulin to oral glibenclamide, with a marked improvement in glycemic control. In permanent neonatal diabetes case, glibenclamide dose was progressively increased to achieve a full dose (2 mg/kg/day) in 9 days. Nine months after starting oral sulphonylurea therapy, her blood glucose control dramatically improved and insulin therapy was discontinued. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that patients with ABCC8 gene variants can successfully switch from insulin to sulphonylureas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a form of monogenic diabetes caused by mutations in single genes, affecting adolescents or young adults. MODY is frequently misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes (T1). Though several studies from India have reported on the genetic aspects of MODY, the clinical profile, complications and treatments given have not been reported so far, nor compared with T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D). AIM To determine the prevalence, clinical features, and complications of common forms of genetically proven MODY seen at a tertiary diabetes centre in South India and compare them with matched individuals with T1D and T2D. METHODS Five hundred and thirty individuals identified as 'possible MODY' based on clinical criteria, underwent genetic testing for MODY. Diagnosis of MODY was confirmed based on pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants found using Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) criteria. The clinical profile of MODY was compared with individuals with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes, matched for duration of diabetes. Retinopathy was diagnosed by retinal photography; nephropathy by urinary albumin excretion > 30 µg/mg of creatinine and neuropathy by vibration perception threshold > 20 v on biothesiometry. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were confirmed to have MODY (10.9%). HNF1A-MODY (n = 25) was the most common subtype followed by HNF4A-MODY (n = 11), ABCC8-MODY (n = 11), GCK-MODY (n = 6) and HNF1B-MODY (n = 5). For comparison of clinical profile, only the three 'actionable' subtypes - defined as those who may respond to sulphonylureas, namely, HNF1A, HNF4A and ABCC8-MODY, were included. Age at onset of diabetes was lower among HNF4A-MODY and HNF1A-MODY than ABCC8-MODY, T1D and T2D. Prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy was higher among the three MODY subtypes taken together (n = 47) as compared to T1D (n = 86) and T2D (n = 86). CONCLUSION This is one of the first reports of MODY subtypes from India based on ACMG and gnomAD criteria. The high prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy in MODY points to the need for earlier diagnosis and better control of diabetes in individuals with MODY.

Abstract
During differential diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, the greatest difficulties are encountered with young patients because various types of diabetes can manifest themselves in this age group (type 1, type 2, and monogenic types of diabetes mellitus, including maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)). The MODY phenotype is associated with gene mutations leading to pancreatic-β-cell dysfunction. Using next-generation sequencing technology, targeted sequencing of coding regions and adjacent splicing sites of MODY-associated genes (HNF4A, GCK, HNF1A, PDX1, HNF1B, NEUROD1, KLF11, CEL, PAX4, INS, BLK, KCNJ11, ABCC8, and APPL1) was carried out in 285 probands. Previously reported missense variants c.970G>A (p.Val324Met) and c.1562G>A (p.Arg521Gln) in the ABCC8 gene were found once each in different probands. Variant c.1562G>A (p.Arg521Gln) in ABCC8 was detected in a compound heterozygous state with a pathogenic variant of the HNF1A gene in a diabetes patient and his mother. Novel frameshift mutation c.4609_4610insC (p.His1537ProfsTer22) in this gene was found in one patient. All these variants were detected in available family members of the patients and cosegregated with diabetes mellitus. Thus, next-generation sequencing of MODY-associated genes is an important step in the diagnosis of rare MODY subtypes.

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
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP ) channels couple the intracellular ATP concentration to insulin secretion. KATP channel activity is inhibited by ATP binding to the Kir6.2 tetramer and activated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2 ). Here, we use molecular dynamics simulation, electrophysiology and fluorescence spectroscopy to show that ATP and PIP2 occupy different binding pockets that share a single amino acid residue, K39. When both ligands are present, simulations suggest that K39 shows a greater preference to co-ordinate with PIP2 than with ATP. They also predict that a neonatal diabetes mutation at K39 (K39R) increases the number of hydrogen bonds formed between K39 and PIP2 , potentially accounting for the reduced ATP inhibition observed in electrophysiological experiments. Our work suggests that PIP2 and ATP interact allosterically to regulate KATP channel activity. KEY POINTS: The KATP channel is activated by the binding of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2 ) lipids and inactivated by the binding of ATP. K39 has the potential to bind to both PIP2 and ATP. A mutation to this residue (K39R) results in neonatal diabetes. This study uses patch-clamp fluorometry, electrophysiology and molecular dynamics simulation. We show that PIP2 competes with ATP for K39, and this reduces channel inhibition by ATP. We show that K39R increases channel affinity to PIP2 by increasing the number of hydrogen bonds with PIP2 , when compared with the wild-type K39. This therefore decreases KATP channel inhibition by ATP.

Sulfonylurea for improving neurological features in neonatal diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analyses. Pediatr Diabetes 2022; 23:675-692. [PMID: 35657808 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.13376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In monogenic diabetes due to KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations that impair KATP- channel function, sulfonylureas improve long-term glycemic control. Although KATP channels are extensively expressed in the brain, the effect of sulfonylureas on neurological function has varied widely. We evaluated published evidence about potential effects of sulfonylureas on neurological features, especially epilepsy, cognition, motor function and muscular tone, visuo-motor integration, and attention deficits in children and adults with KCNJ11 and ABCC8-related neonatal-onset diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses of the literature (PROSPERO, CRD42021254782), including individual-patient data, according to PRISMA, using RevMan software. We also graded the level of evidence. RESULTS We selected 34 of 776 publications. The evaluation of global neurological function before and after sulfonylurea (glibenclamide) treatment in 114 patients yielded a risk difference (RD) of 58% (95%CI, 43%-74%; I2 = 54%) overall and 73% (95%CI, 32%-113%; I2 = 0%) in the subgroup younger than 4 years; the level of evidence was moderate and high, respectively. EEG studies of epilepsy showed a RD of 56% (95%CI, 23%-89%; I2 = 34%) in patients with KCNJ11 mutations, with a high quality of evidence. For hypotonia and motor function, the RDs were 90% (95%CI, 69%-111%; I2 = 0%) and 73% (95%CI, 35%-111%; I2 = 0%), respectively, with a high level of evidence. CONCLUSIONS Glibenclamide significantly improved neurological abnormalities in patients with neonatal-onset diabetes due to KCNJ11 or ABCC8 mutations. Hypotonia was the symptom that responded best. Earlier treatment initiation was associated with greater benefits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monogenic diabetes, a form of diabetes mellitus, is caused by a mutation in a single gene and may account for 1-2% of all clinical forms of diabetes. To date, more than 40 loci have been associated with either isolated or syndromic monogenic diabetes. AREAS COVERED While the request of a genetic test is mandatory for cases with diabetes onset in the first 6 months of life, a decision may be difficult for childhood or adolescent diabetes. In an effort to assist the clinician in this task, we have grouped monogenic diabetes genes according to the age of onset (or incidental discovery) of hyperglycemia and described the additional clinical features found in syndromic diabetes. The therapeutic options available are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION Technical improvements in DNA sequencing allow for rapid, simultaneous analysis of all genes involved in monogenic diabetes, progressively shrinking the area of unsolved cases. However, the complexity of the analysis of genetic data requires close cooperation between the geneticist and the diabetologist, who should play a proactive role by providing a detailed clinical phenotype that might match a specific disease gene.

Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite a known genetic component, our understanding of these diseases remains incomplete. Here, we analyzed the contribution of rare variants to 57 diseases and 26 cardiometabolic traits, using data from 200,337 UK Biobank participants with whole-exome sequencing. We identified 57 gene-based associations, with broad replication of novel signals in Geisinger MyCode. There was a striking risk associated with mutations in known Mendelian disease genes, including MYBPC3, LDLR, GCK, PKD1 and TTN. Many genes showed independent convergence of rare and common variant evidence, including an association between GIGYF1 and type 2 diabetes. We identified several large effect associations for height and 18 unique genes associated with blood lipid or glucose levels. Finally, we found that between 1.0% and 2.4% of participants carried rare potentially pathogenic variants for cardiometabolic disorders. These findings may facilitate studies aimed at therapeutics and screening of these common disorders.

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
Background
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) is a polygenic disorder with the involvement of several genetic and environmental risk factors. Mutation in genes namely ABCC8 and KCNJ11 disrupt the potentiality of KATP channel and regulates the secretion of insulin by detecting a change in the blood glucose level and consequently maintains glucose homeostasis. The present study was designed to investigate the association of ABCC8 and KCNJ11gene polymorphisms with type 1 diabetes. A case-control study was conducted enrolling 60 cases suffering from T1DM and 60 healthy controls of comparable age and sex. Gene variations were determined by PCR-RFLP and ARMS-PCR method.
Results
The ABCC8-3C > T (rs1799854) variation was found to be significantly associated with T1DM (p<0.01) and “CT” genotype was found to be predominant in T1DM with a threefold increased risk to diabetes and the association was statistically significant. However, we did not find any significant association of C>T (rs1801261) polymorphism of ABCC8 with T1DM. A significant association was observed for genetic variation at rs5219 C>T polymorphism and the frequency of TT genotype was found to be significantly higher in patients (46.7%) than in controls (21.7%), indicating the significant role of the KCNJ11 rs5219 variant in T1DM susceptibility (p<0.001), but we did not observe any significant association of G>A (rs5215) polymorphism of KCNJ11 with T1DM. In addition, haplotype analysis of the two genes revealed four haplotypes such as T-C-G-T, T-C-A-T, C-C-G-T, and T-T-G-T as risk haplotypes for type 1 diabetes (p<0.02) potentially making individual effects of these variants on the disease susceptibility, thereby indicating the synergistic role of these genes in the regulation of glucose homeostasis.
Conclusions
The present study highlights the importance of personalized medicine based on individual genetic profile.

[PMID: 34268868 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Previous reviews and clinical guidelines have identified 10-20 genetic syndromes associated with diabetes, but no systematic review has been conducted to date. We provide the first comprehensive catalog for syndromes with diabetes mellitus. We conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, PubMed, OMIM, and Orphanet databases for case reports, case series, and observational studies published between 1946 and January 15, 2020, that described diabetes mellitus in adults and children with monogenic or chromosomal syndromes. Our literature search identified 7,122 studies, of which 160 fulfilled inclusion criteria. Our analysis of these studies found 69 distinct diabetes syndromes. Thirty (43.5%) syndromes included diabetes mellitus as a cardinal clinical feature, and 56 (81.2%) were fully genetically elucidated. Sixty-three syndromes (91.3%) were described more than once in independent case reports, of which 59 (93.7%) demonstrated clinical heterogeneity. Syndromes associated with diabetes mellitus are more numerous and diverse than previously anticipated. While knowledge of the syndromes is limited by their low prevalence, future reviews will be needed as more cases are identified. The genetic etiologies of these syndromes are well elucidated and provide potential avenues for future gene identification efforts, aid in diagnosis and management, gene therapy research, and developing personalized medicine treatments.

Abstract
The pancreatic islets of Langerhans secrete several hormones critical for glucose homeostasis. The β-cells, the major cellular component of the pancreatic islets, secrete insulin, the only hormone capable of lowering the plasma glucose concentration. The counter-regulatory hormone glucagon is secreted by the α-cells while δ-cells secrete somatostatin that via paracrine mechanisms regulates the α- and β-cell activity. These three peptide hormones are packed into secretory granules that are released through exocytosis following a local increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The high voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (HVCCs) occupy a central role in pancreatic hormone release both as a source of Ca2+ required for excitation-secretion coupling as well as a scaffold for the release machinery. HVCCs are multi-protein complexes composed of the main pore-forming transmembrane α1 and the auxiliary intracellular β, extracellular α2δ, and transmembrane γ subunits. Here, we review the current understanding regarding the role of all HVCC subunits expressed in pancreatic β-cell on electrical activity, excitation-secretion coupling, and β-cell mass. The evidence we review was obtained from many seminal studies employing pharmacological approaches as well as genetically modified mouse models. The significance for diabetes in humans is discussed in the context of genetic variations in the genes encoding for the HVCC subunits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the spectrum of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), document new mutations, and review published Indian literature on the etiology of NDM. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the clinical and genetic profile of 12 NDM patients. RESULTS Eight patients presented with NDM before the age of 6 mo. Three other patients, including 2 siblings presented in later part of infancy. An additional patient was diagnosed at age 5 y with the same etiology as her infant sibling. Four patients had transient diabetes [TNDM:1 each with a mutation in KCNJ11 and INS gene, 2 with ABCC8 mutation], 7 had permanent diabetes [PNDM: 2 siblings with complete glucokinase deficiency, 2 siblings with thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA), 1 with Immune dysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome and 2 with Wolcott Rallison syndrome, (WRS)]. Four patients had 5 novel mutations. Genetic etiology could not be established in 1 patient with features of insulin resistance. Poorly controlled blood glucose in the TRMA patient led to hyperglycemia-induced hemichorea-hemiballismus, a rare manifestation in children. CONCLUSIONS The authors describe 5 novel mutations, in the EIF2AK3, ABCC8, and GCK genes, a homozygous mutation at the ABCC8 locus presenting as TNDM, an obscure phenotype of the GCK gene mutation, and hyperglycemia-induced hemichorea-hemiballismus in a patient with TRMA. In India, PNDM is most commonly due to WRS similar to Middle Eastern countries with high consanguinity rates.

Abstract
Executive Summary This document updates the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of diabetes. It prioritizes clinical care and guides health professionals in choosing appropriate treatments at the time of diabetes diagnosis, and provides practical guidance to clinicians in assigning a type of diabetes to individuals at the time of diagnosis. It is a compromise between clinical and aetiological classification because there remain gaps in knowledge of the aetiology and pathophysiology of diabetes. While acknowledging the progress that is being made towards a more precise categorization of diabetes subtypes, the aim of this document is to recommend a classification that is feasible to implement in different settings throughout the world. The revised classification is presented in Table 1. Unlike the previous classification, this classification does not recognize subtypes of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes and includes new types of diabetes ("hybrid types of diabetes" and "unclassified diabetes").

Abstract
BACKGROUND ABCC8 variants cause neonatal diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia because of activating or inactivating variants. In this study we used targeted exon sequencing to investigate genetic variants of ABCC8 and phenotypic features in Chinese patients with early onset diabetes (EOD). METHODS A cross-sectional study of 543 Chinese patients with EOD was recruited and the exons of them were conducted targeted sequencing. The pathogenicity of ABCC8 variants was defined according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guideline. The phenotypes of patients owing to ABCC8 variants (ABCC8-MODY) were characterized. RESULTS Among the 543 participants, eight (1.5%) patients with ABCC8-MODY were identified. They harbored eight missense ABCC8 variants (p.R306C, p.E1326K, and p.R1379H, previously reported; p.R298C, p.F1176C, p.R1221W, p.K1358R, and p.I1404V) classified as likely pathogenic. Two family members with ABCC8-MODY were also confirmed. The average diagnosed age of the 10 patients was 26.8 ± 12.9 years. The majority of them had unsatisfactory glucose control, 80% of them had diabetic kidney disease, and neurological features were not observed. CONCLUSION Using targeted exon sequencing followed by pathogenicity analysis, we could be able to make genetic diagnoses for eight (1.5%) patients with ABCC8-MODY. The phenotype was variable with higher risk of diabetic microvascular complications. Genetic diagnosis is conducive for facilitating the personalized treatment of ABCC8-MODY.

Molecular Genetics, Clinical Characteristics, and Treatment Outcomes of K ATP-Channel Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus in Vietnam National Children's Hospital. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:727083. [PMID: 34566892 PMCID: PMC8458931 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2021.727083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is defined as insulin-requiring persistent hyperglycemia occurring within the first 6 months of life, which can result from mutations in at least 25 different genes. Activating heterozygous mutations in genes encoding either of the subunits of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP channel; KCNJ11 or ABCC8) of the pancreatic beta cell are the most common cause of permanent NDM and the second most common cause of transient NDM. Patients with NDM caused by KATP channel mutations are sensitive to sulfonylurea (SU) treatment; therefore, their clinical management can be improved by replacing insulin with oral agents. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy patients were diagnosed with NDM between May 2008 and May 2021 at Vietnam National Children's Hospital, and molecular genetic testing for all genes known to cause NDM was performed at the Exeter Genomic Laboratory, UK. Patients with ABCC8 or KCNJ11 mutations were transferred from insulin to oral SU. Clinical characteristics, molecular genetics, and annual data relating to glycemic control, SU dose, severe hypoglycemia, and side effects were collected. The main outcomes of interest were SU dose, SU failure (defined as permanent reintroduction of daily insulin), and glycemic control (HbA1c). RESULTS Fifty-four of 70 patients (77%) with NDM harbored a genetic mutation and of these; 27 (50%) had activating heterozygous mutations in ABCC8 or KCNJ11. A total of 21 pathogenic mutations were identified in the 27 patients, including 13 mutations in ABCC8 and 8 mutations in KCNJ11. Overall, 51% had low birth weight (below 3rd percentile), 23 (85%) were diagnosed before 3 months of age, and 23 (85%) presented with diabetic ketoacidosis. At diagnosis, clinical and biochemical findings (mean ± SD) were pH 7.16 ± 0.16; HCO3- , 7.9 ± 7.4 mmol/L; BE, -17.9 ± 9.1 mmol/L; HbA1C, 7.98% ± 2.93%; blood glucose, 36.2 ± 12.3 mmol/L; and C-peptide median, 0.09 (range, 0-1.61 nmol/l). Twenty-six patients were successfully transferred from insulin to SU therapy. In the remaining case, remission of diabetes occurred prior to transfer. Glycemic control on SU treatment was better than on insulin treatment: HbA1c and blood glucose level decreased from 7.58% ± 4.63% and 19.04 ± 14.09 mmol/L when treated with insulin to 5.8 ± 0.94% and 6.87 ± 3.46 mmol/L when treated with SU, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case series of NDM patients with ABCC8/KCNJ11 mutations reported in Vietnam. SU is safe in the short term for these patients and more effective than insulin therapy, consistent with all studies to date. This is relevant for populations where access to and cost of insulin are problematic, reinforcing the importance of genetic testing for NDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE ABCC8 mutations cause neonatal diabetes mellitus that can be transient (TNDM) or, less commonly, permanent (PNDM); ∼90% of individuals can be treated with oral sulfonylureas instead of insulin. Previous studies suggested that people with ABCC8-PNDM require lower sulfonylurea doses and have milder neurological features than those with KCNJ11-PNDM. However, these studies were short-term and included combinations of ABCC8-PNDM and ABCC8-TNDM. We aimed to assess the long-term glycemic and neurological outcomes in sulfonylurea-treated ABCC8-PNDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied all 24 individuals with ABCC8-PNDM diagnosed in the U.K., Italy, France, and U.S. known to transfer from insulin to sulfonylureas before May 2010. Data on glycemic control, sulfonylurea dose, adverse effects including hypoglycemia, and neurological features were analyzed using nonparametric statistical methods. RESULTS Long-term data were obtained for 21 of 24 individuals (median follow-up 10.0 [range 4.1-13.2] years). Eighteen of 21 remained on sulfonylureas without insulin at the most recent follow-up. Glycemic control improved on sulfonylureas (presulfonylurea vs. 1-year posttransfer HbA1c 7.2% vs. 5.7%, P = 0.0004) and remained excellent long-term (1-year vs. 10-year HbA1c 5.7% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.04), n = 16. Relatively high doses were used (1-year vs. 10-year dose 0.37 vs. 0.25 mg/kg/day glyburide, P = 0.50) without any severe hypoglycemia. Neurological features were reported in 13 of 21 individuals; these improved following sulfonylurea transfer in 7 of 13. The most common features were learning difficulties (52%), developmental delay (48%), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (38%). CONCLUSIONS Sulfonylurea treatment of ABCC8-PNDM results in excellent long-term glycemic control. Overt neurological features frequently occur and may improve with sulfonylureas, supporting early, rapid genetic testing to guide appropriate treatment and neurodevelopmental assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major chronic metabolic disease in the world, and the prevalence has been increasing rapidly in recent years. The channel of KATP plays an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion. The variants in ABCC8 gene encoding the SUR1 subunit of KATP could cause a variety of phenotypes, including neonatal diabetes mellitus (ABCC8-NDM) and ABCC8-induced nonneonatal diabetes mellitus (ABCC8-NNDM). Since the features of ABCC8-NNDM have not been elucidated, this study is aimed at concluding the genetic features and clinical characteristics. METHODS We comprehensively reviewed the literature associated with ABCC8-NNDM in the following databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science to investigate the features of ABCC8-NNDM. RESULTS Based on a comprehensive literature search, we found that 87 probands with ABCC8-NNDM carried 71 ABCC8 genetic variant alleles, 24% of whom carried inactivating variants, 24% carried activating variants, and the remaining 52% carried activating or inactivating variants. Nine of these variants were confirmed to be activating or inactivating through functional studies, while four variants (p.R370S, p.E1506K, p.R1418H, and p.R1420H) were confirmed to be inactivating. The phenotypes of ABCC8-NNDM were variable and could also present with early hyperinsulinemia followed by reduced insulin secretion, progressing to diabetes later. They had a relatively high risk of microvascular complications and low prevalence of nervous disease, which is different from ABCC8-NDM. CONCLUSIONS Genetic testing is essential for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment for patients with ABCC8-NNDM. And further studies are required to determine the complex mechanism of the variants of ABCC8-NNDM.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose and is ultimately caused by insufficient insulin production from pancreatic beta cells. Different research models have been utilized to unravel the molecular mechanisms leading to the onset of diabetes. The generation of pancreatic endocrine cells from human pluripotent stem cells constitutes an approach to study genetic defects leading to impaired beta cell development and function. Here, we review the recent progress in generating and characterizing functional stem cell-derived beta cells. We summarize the diabetes disease modeling possibilities that stem cells offer and the challenges that lie ahead to further improve these models.

Abstract
Individualization of therapy based on a person's specific type of diabetes is one key element of a "precision medicine" approach to diabetes care. However, applying such an approach remains difficult because of barriers such as disease heterogeneity, difficulties in accurately diagnosing different types of diabetes, multiple genetic influences, incomplete understanding of pathophysiology, limitations of current therapies, and environmental, social, and psychological factors. Monogenic diabetes, for which single gene mutations are causal, is the category most suited to a precision approach. The pathophysiological mechanisms of monogenic diabetes are understood better than those of any other form of diabetes. Thus, this category offers the advantage of accurate diagnosis of nonoverlapping etiological subgroups for which specific interventions can be applied. Although representing a small proportion of all diabetes cases, monogenic forms present an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility of precision medicine strategies. In June 2019, the editors of Diabetes Care convened a panel of experts to discuss this opportunity. This article summarizes the major themes that arose at that forum. It presents an overview of the common causes of monogenic diabetes, describes some challenges in identifying and treating these disorders, and reports experience with various approaches to screening, diagnosis, and management. This article complements a larger American Diabetes Association effort supporting implementation of precision medicine for monogenic diabetes, which could serve as a platform for a broader initiative to apply more precise tactics to treating the more common forms of diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A precision medicine approach is used to improve treatment of patients with monogenic diabetes. Herein, we searched SU efficiency according to the genotype-phenotype correlation, dosage used, and side effects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Systematic review conducted according the PRISMA control criteria identifying relevant studies evaluating the in vivo and in vitro sensitivity of ATP-dependent potassium channels according to the characteristics of genetic mutation. RESULTS Hundred and three selected articles with complete data in 502 cases in whom 413 (82.3%) had mutations in KCNJ11 (#64) and 89 in ABCC8 (# 56). Successful transfer from insulin to SU was achieved in 91% and 86.5% patients, respectively, at a mean age of 36.5 months (0-63 years). Among patients with KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations 64 and 46 were associated with constant success, 5 and 5 to constant failure, and 10 and 4 to variable degrees of reported success rate, respectively. The glibenclamide dosage required for each genotype ranged from 0.017 to 2.8 mg/kg/day. Comparing both the in vivo and in vitro susceptibility results, some mutations appear more sensitive than others to sulfonylurea treatment. Side effects were reported in 17/103 of the included articles: mild gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycaemia were the most common. One premature patient had an ulcerative necrotizing enterocolitis which association with SU is difficult to ascertain. CONCLUSIONS Sulfonylureas are an effective treatment for monogenic diabetes due to KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes mutations. The success of the treatment is conditioned by differences in pharmacogenetics, younger age, pharmacokinetics, compliance, and maximal dose used.

Abstract
The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) couples blood levels of glucose to insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. KATP channel closure triggers a cascade of events that results in insulin release. Metabolically generated changes in the intracellular concentrations of adenosine nucleotides are integral to this regulation, with ATP and ADP closing the channel and MgATP and MgADP increasing channel activity. Activating mutations in the genes encoding either of the two types of KATP channel subunit (Kir6.2 and SUR1) result in neonatal diabetes mellitus, whereas loss-of-function mutations cause hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia of infancy. Sulfonylurea and glinide drugs, which bind to SUR1, close the channel through a pathway independent of ATP and are now the primary therapy for neonatal diabetes mellitus caused by mutations in the genes encoding KATP channel subunits. Insight into the molecular details of drug and nucleotide regulation of channel activity has been illuminated by cryo-electron microscopy structures that reveal the atomic-level organization of the KATP channel complex. Here we review how these structures aid our understanding of how the various mutations in the genes encoding Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and SUR1 (ABCC8) lead to a reduction in ATP inhibition and thereby neonatal diabetes mellitus. We also provide an update on known mutations and sulfonylurea therapy in neonatal diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasingly prevalent multifactorial disease that has both genetic and environmental risk factors, resulting in impaired glucose homeostasis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 400 genetic signals that are associated with altered risk of T2DM. Human physiology and epigenomic data support a central role for the pancreatic islet in the pathogenesis of T2DM. This Review focuses on the promises and challenges of moving from genetic associations to molecular mechanisms and highlights efforts to identify the causal variant and effector transcripts at T2DM GWAS susceptibility loci. In addition, we examine current human models that are used to study both β-cell development and function, including EndoC-β cell lines and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived β-like cells. We use examples of four T2DM susceptibility loci (CDKAL1, MTNR1B, SLC30A8 and PAM) to emphasize how a holistic approach involving genetics, physiology, and cellular and developmental biology can disentangle disease mechanisms at T2DM GWAS signals.

Abstract
The most common genetic cause of neonatal diabetes and hyperinsulinism is pathogenic variants in ABCC8 and KCNJ11. These genes encode the subunits of the β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel, a key component of the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion pathway. Mutations in the two genes cause dysregulated insulin secretion; inactivating mutations cause an oversecretion of insulin, leading to congenital hyperinsulinism, whereas activating mutations cause the opposing phenotype, diabetes. This review focuses on variants identified in ABCC8 and KCNJ11, the phenotypic spectrum and the treatment implications for individuals with pathogenic variants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) constitutes a genetically and clinically heterogeneous type of monogenic diabetes. It is characterized by early onset, autosomal dominant inheritance and a defect in pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion. To date, various MODY subtypes have been reported, each one of a distinct genetic etiology. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the molecular defects of 50 patients with MODY employing the methodology of next generation sequencing (NGS) targeted gene panel. METHODS A panel of seven MODY genes was designed and employed to screen 50 patients fulfilling the MODY diagnostic criteria. Patients with no pathogenic, likely pathogenic or uncertain significance variants detected, were further tested by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for copy number variations (CNVs). RESULTS Eight different pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were identified in eight MODY patients (diagnostic rate 16%). Five variants of uncertain significance were also detected in seven MODY patients. Five novel pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants were detected in the genes GCK; p.Cys371X, HNF1A; p.Asn402Tyr, HNF4A; p.Glu285Lys, and ABCC8; p.Met1514Thr and p.Ser1386Phe. Two de novo heterozygous deletions of the entire HNF1B gene were detected in two patients, raising the diagnostic rate to 20%. CONCLUSIONS Although many MODY patients still remain without exact MODY type identification, the application of NGS methodology provided rapid results, increased diagnostic accuracy, and was cost-effective compared to Sanger sequencing. Accurate genetic diagnosis of the MODY subtype is important for treatment selection, disease prognosis, and family counseling.

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
Objective: Our aim was to describe the molecular alterations in the ABCC8 gene in a child with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Methods: Genetic analysis of the ABCC8 gene of a newborn infant with congenial hyperinsulinism was obtained. Results: There were two mutations in the ABCC8 gene, c.4412delT, and c.3979G > A, indicating a compound heterozygous mutation. The c.4412delT variant is associated with CHI, and the c.3979G > A variant is associated with neonatal diabetes. Treatment with diazoxide was not effective, octreotide treatment with acetate was effective. Conclusion: The combination of a mutation of the ABCC8 gene c.4412delT, associated with CHI, and the mutation of c.3979G > A, associated with neonatal diabetes, resulted in a neonate with hypoglycemia. The mechanism remains unclear.

Abstract
Background: Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) is characterized by the onset of hyperglycemia within the first six months of life. Their diabetes is associated with partial or complete insulin deficiency with variable degree of intrauterine growth retardation. Insulin therapy corrects the hyperglycemia and results in improvement of growth. However, no studies have reported the longitudinal growth of these infants (head circumference, length and weight gain) after starting insulin therapy. Patients and methods: We assessed the growth parameters weight (Wt), Length (L) and head circumference (HC) in 9 infants with PNDM, during the first 2 years of their postnatal life. Five infants were on insulin pump therapy (CSII) and 4 were on multiple doses of insulin injection (MDI) therapy. Results: On insulin therapy for 20±4 months catch-up growth occurred in the majority of infants. L-SDS increased from -1.45 to -0.65 , HC-SDS from -2.3 to - 0.51 and Wt-SDS increased from -1.94 to - 0.7 at the end of the 20±4 months of age, after starting insulin therapy. Two out of 9 infants had a L-SDS <-2 , in 4 Wt-SDS was <-2 and in 1 the HC-SDS was <-2 at at 20±4 months of postnatal growth. The level of HbA1c was lower in infants on CSII compared to those on MDI (9.6±1%) compared to those on MDI (10.2±2%). However, growth parameters improved significantly in both groups (CSII and MDI) with no significant difference among them. Conclusions: Infants with PNDM with positive anti-GAD and antiTPO were diagnosed later and their intra-uterine and postnatal growth differed compared to those with negative antibodies. The majority of infants with PNDM exhibited significant catch up growth within the first two years of life irrespective of the etiology of diabetes. HbA1c appeared to be better in infants with PNDM on CSII therapy when compared to those on MDI therapy. (www.actabiomedica.it)

This review focuses on gene discovery strategies used to identify monogenic forms of diabetes caused by reduced pancreatic beta-cell number (due to destruction or defective development) or impaired beta-cell function. Gene discovery efforts in monogenic diabetes have identified 36 genes so far. These genetic causes have been identified using four main approaches: linkage analysis, candidate gene sequencing and most recently, exome and genome sequencing. The advent of next-generation sequencing has allowed researchers to move away from linkage analysis (relying on large pedigrees and/or multiple families with the same genetic condition) and candidate gene (relying on previous knowledge on the gene's role) strategies to use a gene agnostic approach, utilizing genetic evidence (such as variant frequency, predicted variant effect on protein function, and predicted mode of inheritance) to identify the causative mutation. This approach led to the identification of seven novel genetic causes of monogenic diabetes, six by exome sequencing and one by genome sequencing. In many of these cases, the disease-causing gene was not known to be important for beta-cell function prior to the gene discovery study. These novel findings highlight a new role for gene discovery studies in furthering our understanding of beta-cell function and dysfunction in diabetes. While many gene discovery studies in the past were led by knowledge in the field (through the candidate gene strategy), now they often lead the scientific advances in the field by identifying new important biological players to be further characterized by in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
ABCC8 gene mutations with different inheritance patterns have been well described to cause transient and permanent forms of neonatal diabetes with onset of hyperglycemia commonly before the age of 6 months, and rare cases between 6 and 12 months. However, recent analyses have also demonstrated ABCC8 gene mutations in patients with monogenic diabetes (maturity onset diabetes of the young, MODY), with milder clinical phenotypes and later onset of hyperglycemia. We report two siblings with diabetes mellitus due to a novel homozygous p.(Phe1068Ile) (c.3202T>A) missense mutation of the ABCC8 gene, but significantly different phenotypes. The index case was diagnosed with diabetes due to an incidental finding of hyperglycemia at the age of 3 years, while her younger sibling presented with severe hyperglycemia and hyperosmolar dehydration at the age of 10 weeks. The possibility of a significant discordance in the correlation between genotype and phenotype needs to be taken into account when ABCC8 mutation dependent diabetes occurs within the same family. Genetic screening in children with diabetes from consanguineous family needs consideration, especially in case of negative autoantibodies and early onset of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels cause neonatal diabetes. Despite the well-established genetic root of the disease, pathways modulating disease severity and treatment effectiveness remain poorly understood. Patient phenotypes can vary from severe diabetes to remission, even in individuals with the same mutation and within the same family, suggesting that subtle modifiers can influence disease outcome. We have tested the underlying mechanism of transient vs. permanent neonatal diabetes in KATP-GOF mice treated for 14 days with glibenclamide. Some KATP-GOF mice show remission of diabetes and enhanced insulin sensitivity long after diabetes treatment has ended, while others maintain severe insulin-resistance. However, insulin sensitivity is not different between the two groups before or during diabetes induction, suggesting that improved sensitivity is a consequence, rather than the cause of, remission, implicating other factors modulating glucose early in diabetes progression. Leptin, glucagon, insulin, and glucagon-like peptide-1 are not different between remitters and nonremitters. However, liver glucose production is significantly reduced before transgene induction in remitter, relative to nonremitter and nontreated, mice. Surprisingly, while subsequent remitter animals exhibited normal serum cytokines, nonremitter mice showed increased cytokines, which paralleled the divergence in blood glucose. Together, these results suggest that systemic inflammation may play a role in the remitting versus non-remitting outcome. Supporting this conclusion, treatment with the anti-inflammatory meloxicam significantly increased the fraction of remitting animals. Beyond neonatal diabetes, the potential for inflammation and glucose production to exacerbate other forms of diabetes from a compensated state to a glucotoxic state should be considered.

Abstract
Monogenic diabetes is caused by mutations that reduce β-cell function. While Sanger sequencing is the standard method used to detect mutated genes. Next-generation sequencing techniques, such as whole exome sequencing (WES), can be used to find multiple gene mutations in one assay. We used WES to detect genetic mutations in both permanent neonatal (PND) and type 1B diabetes (T1BD). A total of five PND and nine T1BD patients were enrolled in this study. WES variants were assessed using VarioWatch, excluding those identified previously. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the mutations, and their pathogenicity was established via the literature or bioinformatic/functional analysis. The PND and T1BD patients were diagnosed at 0.1-0.5 and 0.8-2.7 years of age, respectively. Diabetic ketoacidosis was present at diagnosis in 60% of PND patients and 44.4% of T1BD patients. We found five novel mutations in five different genes. Notably, patient 602 had a novel homozygous missense mutation c.1295C > A (T432 K) in the glucokinase (GCK) gene. Compared to the wild-type recombinant protein, the mutant protein had significantly lower enzymatic activity (2.5%, p = 0.0002) and Vmax (1.23 ± 0.019 vs. 0.33 ± 0.016, respectively; p = 0.005). WES is a robust technique that can be used to unravel the etiologies of genetically heterogeneous forms of diabetes. Homozygous inactivating mutations of the GCK gene may have a significant role in PND pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pathological changes in pulmonary arterioles progressively raise pulmonary artery pressure and increase pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to right heart failure and high mortality rates. Recently, the first potassium channelopathy in PAH, because of mutations in KCNK3, was identified as a genetic cause and pharmacological target. METHODS Exome sequencing was performed to identify novel genes in a cohort of 99 pediatric and 134 adult-onset group I PAH patients. Novel rare variants in the gene identified were independently identified in a cohort of 680 adult-onset patients. Variants were expressed in COS cells and function assessed by patch-clamp and rubidium flux analysis. RESULTS We identified a de novo novel heterozygous predicted deleterious missense variant c.G2873A (p.R958H) in ABCC8 in a child with idiopathic PAH. We then evaluated all individuals in the original and a second cohort for rare or novel variants in ABCC8 and identified 11 additional heterozygous predicted damaging ABCC8 variants. ABCC8 encodes SUR1 (sulfonylurea receptor 1)-a regulatory subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel. We observed loss of ATP-sensitive potassium channel function for all ABCC8 variants evaluated and pharmacological rescue of all channel currents in vitro by the SUR1 activator, diazoxide. CONCLUSIONS Novel and rare missense variants in ABCC8 are associated with PAH. Identified ABCC8 mutations decreased ATP-sensitive potassium channel function, which was pharmacologically recovered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Permanent neonatal diabetes caused by mutations in the KCNJ11 gene may be managed with high-dose sulfonylureas. Complete transfer to sulfonylureas is not successful in all cases and can result in insulin monotherapy. In such cases, the outcomes of combining sulfonylureas with insulin have not been fully explored. We present the case of a woman with diabetes due to a KCNJ11 mutation, in whom combination therapy led to clinically meaningful improvements. CASE A 22-year-old woman was found to have a KCNJ11 mutation (G334V) following diagnosis with diabetes at 3 weeks. She was treated with insulin-pump therapy, had hypoglycaemia unawareness and suboptimal glycaemic control. We assessed the in vitro response of the mutant channel to tolbutamide in Xenopus oocytes and undertook sulfonylurea dose-titration with C-peptide assessment and continuous glucose monitoring. In vitro studies predicted the G334V mutation would be sensitive to sulfonylurea therapy [91 ± 2% block (n = 6) with 0.5 mM tolbutamide]. C-peptide increased following a glibenclamide test dose (from 5 to 410 pmol/l). Glibenclamide dose-titration was undertaken: a lower glibenclamide dose did not reduce blood glucose levels, but at 1.2 mg/kg/day insulin delivery was reduced to 0.1 units/h. However, when insulin was stopped, hyperglycaemia ensued. Glibenclamide was further increased (2 mg/kg/day), but once-daily long-acting insulin was still required to maintain glycaemia. This resulted in improved HbA1c of 52 mmol/mol (6.9%), restoration of hypoglycaemia awareness and reduced glycaemic variability. CONCLUSION In people with KCNJ11 mutations causing permanent neonatal diabetes, and where complete transfer is not possible, consideration should be given to dual insulin and sulfonylurea therapy.

Abstract
Neonatal diabetes is a rare cause of hyperglycemia in the neonatal period. It is caused by mutations in genes that encode proteins playing critical roles in normal functions of pancreatic beta cells. Neonatal diabetes is divided into temporary and permanent subtypes. Treatment is based on the correction of fluid-electrolyte disturbances and hyperglycemia. Patients respond to insulin or sulfonylurea treatment according to the mutation type. Close glucose monitoring and education of caregivers about diabetes are vital.

Abstract
The complex disorder Cantu syndrome (CS) arises from gain-of-function mutations in either KCNJ8 or ABCC9, the genes encoding the Kir6.1 and SUR2 subunits of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, respectively. Recent reports indicate that such mutations can increase channel activity by multiple molecular mechanisms. In this study, we determined the mechanism by which KATP function is altered by several substitutions in distinct structural domains of SUR2: D207E in the intracellular L0-linker and Y985S, G989E, M1060I, and R1154Q/R1154W in TMD2. We engineered substitutions at their equivalent positions in rat SUR2A (D207E, Y981S, G985E, M1056I, and R1150Q/R1150W) and investigated functional consequences using macroscopic rubidium (86Rb+) efflux assays and patch-clamp electrophysiology. Our results indicate that D207E increases KATP channel activity by increasing intrinsic stability of the open state, whereas the cluster of Y981S/G985E/M1056I substitutions, as well as R1150Q/R1150W, augmented Mg-nucleotide activation. We also tested the responses of these channel variants to inhibition by the sulfonylurea drug glibenclamide, a potential pharmacotherapy for CS. None of the D207E, Y981S, G985E, or M1056I substitutions had a significant effect on glibenclamide sensitivity. However, Gln and Trp substitution at Arg-1150 significantly decreased glibenclamide potency. In summary, these results provide additional confirmation that mutations in CS-associated SUR2 mutations result in KATP gain-of-function. They help link CS genotypes to phenotypes and shed light on the underlying molecular mechanisms, including consequences for inhibitory drug sensitivity, insights that may inform the development of therapeutic approaches to manage CS.

Abstract
In β cells, stimulation by metabolic, hormonal, neuronal, and pharmacological factors is coupled to secretion of insulin through different intracellular signaling pathways. Our knowledge about the molecular machinery supporting these pathways and the patterns of signals it generates comes mostly from rodent models, especially the laboratory mouse. The increased availability of human islets for research during the last few decades has yielded new insights into the specifics in signaling pathways leading to insulin secretion in humans. In this review, we follow the most central triggering pathway to insulin secretion from its very beginning when glucose enters the β cell to the calcium oscillations it produces to trigger fusion of insulin containing granules with the plasma membrane. Along the way, we describe the crucial building blocks that contribute to the flow of information and focus on their functional role in mice and humans and on their translational implications.
