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

Abstract
We report a 26-year-old girl who was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus in her childhood and was treated with insulin. With a history of visual disturbances during her childhood and anaemia, which was partially evaluated; the possibility of syndromic diabetes was considered. Genetic analysis was done and revealed a mutation in the SLC19A2 gene, confirming the diagnosis of thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anaemia. She was supplemented with thiamine, which dramatically improved her haemoglobin levels and glucose control. However, her vision could not be salvaged as the rod-cone dystrophy is a permanent damage.

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
Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome (TRMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder, inherited by the defective SLC19A2 gene that encodes a high-affinity thiamine transporter (THTR-1). TRMA is characterized by the occurrence of classical triad manifestations including megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus, and sensorineural deafness. In addition to the systemic manifestations, ophthalmic features can be present and include retinitis pigmentosa, optic atrophy, cone-rod dystrophy, maculopathy, and Leber congenital amaurosis. Here we report a 6-year-old boy presenting severe early-onset retinal dystrophy with the initial diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis, which followed for 12 years. Diabetes mellitus occurred 3 years after vision problem. Eosinophilic granuloma of the left scapula was confirmed at 13 years old. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify two novel compound heterozygous variants c.725dupC (p.Ala243Serfs*3) and c.121G>A (p.Gly41Ser) in SLC19A2 gene (NM_006996.3). Oral thiamine supplementation treatment was initiated at 13 years. This case demonstrates Leber congenital amaurosis can present as the first clinical feature before systemic manifestations. Phenotypic variety should be aware and multidisciplinary teamwork and regular follow-up are important for TRMA patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA), caused by SLC19A2 loss-of-function variants, is characterized by the triad of megaloblastic anemia, progressive sensorineural deafness, and non-type 1 diabetes mellitus. Here, we present the case of a Chinese infant with two novel variants segregating in compound heterozygous form in SLC19A2 and reviewed genotype-phenotype associations (GPAs) in patients with TRMA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Whole-exome sequencing was performed to establish a genetic diagnosis. The clinical manifestations and genetic variants were collected by performing a literature review. The bioinformatics software SIFT, PolyPhen2, and Mutation Taster was applied to predict variant effects and analyze GPAs. RESULTS Two novel variants segregating in compound heterozygous form in SLC19A2 (NM_006996.2: exon2:c.336_363del:p.W112fs; exon2:c.358G>T:p.G120X) was identified. Thiamine supplementation corrected anemia and diabetes mellitus but did not improve the hearing defect. In the literature, 183 patients with TRMA with 74 variants in SLC19A2 have been reported, with high incidence in the Middle East, South Asia, and the northern Mediterranean. Patients with biallelic premature termination codon variants presented with more severe phenotypes, and truncating sites on extracellular domains was a protective factor for the hemoglobin level at diagnosis. CONCLUSION Two novel compound heterozygous variants (NM_006996.2: exon2:c.336_363del:p.W112fs; exon2:c.358G>T:p.G120X) were identified, and GPAs in TRMA indicated the predictability of clinical manifestations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe clinical presentation and long-term outcomes in a large cohort of children diagnosed with thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA)-related diabetes. METHODS Data from the Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation (DPV) and Better control in Pediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference (SWEET) registries were used to identify cases. Complementary information was collected through a chart review of each case. Descriptive analyses with medians and interquartile ranges and numbers (proportions) were tabulated. RESULTS We identified 23 cases (52% male) in the 2 registries. Eighteen (78%) had genetic confirmation of TRMA. Median age at diabetes onset was 1.4 (quartiles 0.8 to 3.6) years and median age at initiation of thiamine treatment was 5.9 (2.4 to 12.4) years. At their most recent visit, patients' median age was 14.3 (8.1 to 17.5) years, glycated hemoglobin level was 6.9% (6.1% to 7.9%), insulin dose was 0.9 (0.4 to 1.2) units/kg per day and thiamine dose was 200 (100 to 300) mg/day. Three patients were not treated with insulin or antidiabetic drugs. There was no difference in diabetes outcomes in patients with initiation of thiamine ≤1 year after diabetes onset compared to patients with initiation of thiamine >1 year after diabetes onset. CONCLUSIONS This is the longest case series of pediatric TRMA-related diabetes reported to date. Diabetes onset often occurs several years before initiation of thiamine supplementation. Early initiation of thiamine (within 1 year of diabetes onset) was not linked to improved diabetes outcome. However, the role of thiamine in pancreatic function needs further assessment. Patients with TRMA-related diabetes maintained good glycemic control even after 9 years (median) of follow up.

Abstract
AbstractThiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the development of megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus, and sensorineural deafness. We report on the first two Croatian patients with TRMA, compound heterozygotes for nonsense, c.373C > T; p.(Gln125Ter) and novel missense variant, c.1214C > G; p.(Thr405Arg) in SLC19A2 gene. The first was diagnosed at 4 months with diabetes mellitus and severe anemia requiring transfusions. As TRMA was suspected, thiamine therapy was immediately started to prevent further transfusions and insulin therapy. His brother developed extreme anemia at 3 weeks of age while waiting for the results of the genetic test. Severe anemia in this sibling may have been prevented if thiamine had been initiated earlier.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Determine the types, incidence, mortality rate, and clinical status of youth diabetes at Bach Christian Hospital (BCH), Qalandarabad, Pakistan. METHODS Analysis of incidence and mortality data of all patients (<25 year (y)) diagnosed from January 2014-June 2019, and also analysis of clinical status of patients < 25y seen in 2018/2019. RESULTS Ninety-three patients were seen over the study period. Eighty-eight were type 1 diabetes (T1D), 51.1% female. Age of diagnosis was 0.8-24.5 years (y) (mean = 11.4 y, SD = 6.2y). 15.1% were 0-4y, 31.4% 5-9 y, 24.4% 10-14y, 19.8% 15-19y, and 9.3% 20-24y. Minimum incidence for the Mansehra tehsil administrative district was calculated as 1.0 per 100,000 population <15y/y, 1.2 per 100,000 < 20y/y and 1.1 per 100,000 < 25y/y; the degree of ascertainment could not be assessed. A further four patients were diagnosed with thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anaemia (TRMA), all male, three from the same consanguineous family, and were treated with high-dose thiamine. One other patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Three T1D and one TRMA patient died during the study period. The standardised mortality rate for T1D was 9.4, but vital status was unknown for 13 patients. The mean/median HbA1c of T1D patients seen in 2018/2019 was 9.1%/9.2% (76/77 mmol/mol). CONCLUSIONS Minimum T1D incidence in Mansehra tehsil is double the previously reported value for Pakistan (from 1990 to 1999), although is still low compared to most other countries. Considering the limited resources available, patients attending BCH are achieving fair glycemic control. The TRMA cases show the importance of genetic testing in atypical cases.

Abstract
Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA), also known as Rogers syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by three main components: megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus and sensorineural deafness. Those features occur in infancy but may arise during adolescence. Diagnosis relies on uncovering genetic variations (alleles) in the SLC19A2 gene, encoding for a high affinity thiamine transporter. This transporter is essentially present in hematopoietic stem cells, pancreatic beta cells and inner ear cells, explaining the clinical manifestations of the disease. Based on a multidisciplinary approach, treatment resides on lifelong thiamine oral supplementation at pharmacological doses, which reverses anemia and may delay development of diabetes. However, thiamine supplementation does not alleviate already existing hearing defects.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of conditions defined by resultant chronic hyperglycemia. Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the increasing understanding of genetic etiologies, we present a broad review of rare genetic forms of diabetes that have differing diagnostic and/or treatment implications from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Advances in understanding the genotype-phenotype associations in these rare forms of diabetes offer clinically available examples of evolving precision medicine where defining the correct genetic etiology can radically alter treatment approaches. In this review, we focus on forms of monogenic diabetes, mitochondrial diabetes, and syndromic diabetes.
