Abstract
The KCNJ11 gene encodes the Kir6.2 subunit of the adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (KATP ) channel, which plays a key role in insulin secretion. Monogenic diseases caused by KCNJ11 gene mutation are rare and easily misdiagnosed. It has been shown that mutations in the KCNJ11 gene are associated with neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), maturity-onset diabetes of the young 13 (MODY13), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. We report four patients with KCNJ11 gene mutations and provide a systematic review of the literature. A boy with diabetes onset at the age of 1 month was misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) for 12 years and received insulin therapy continuously, resulting in poor glycemic control. He was diagnosed as NDM with KCNJ11 E322K gene mutation, and glibenclamide was given to replace exogenous insulin. The successful transfer time was 4 months, much longer than the previous unsuccessful standard of 4 weeks. The other three patients were two sisters and their mother; the younger sister was misdiagnosed with T1DM at 13 years old, while the elder sister was diagnosed with diabetes (type undefined) at 16 years old. They were treated with insulin for 3 years, with poor glycemic control. Their mother was diagnosed with T2DM and achieved good glycemia control with glimepiride. They were diagnosed as MODY13 because of the autosomal dominant inheritance of two generations, early onset of diabetes before 25 years of age in the two sisters, and the presence of the KCNJ11 N48D gene mutation. All patients successfully transferred to sulfonylureas with excellent glycemic control. Therefore, the wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes of glucose dysmetabolism caused by KCNJ11 should be recognized to reduce misdiagnosis and implement appropriate treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the relationship of phenotype and genotype of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) in southwestern China. METHODS Sixteen cases of NDM admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2009 to May 2019 were included in this study. The clinical features of the included infants were retrospectively analyzed. Peripheral blood samples of the patients and their parents were collected for mutation detection. RESULTS Among the 16 cases of NDM, 8 cases were permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) (including 3 clinical syndromes), and 3 cases were transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM). Mutation detection was performed in six cases. The mutation genes and their loci were FOXP3 p.V408M, KCNJ11 p.C166Y, ABCC8 p.S830P, KCNJ11 p.I182T, KCNJ11 p.G334D, and ZFP57 p.R125X,412. ABCC8 p.S830P was the new found pathogenic site of gene mutation. According to the clinical features and follow-up results, one case was diagnosed as IPEX syndrome, two as DEND syndrome, two as simple PNDM, and one as TNDM. All the TNDM could spontaneously alleviate and then insulin was withdrawn. In PNDM, 75% of those with KATP channel gene mutation could be completely or partially converted to oral sulfonylureas treatment, however, the rest cases needed lifelong insulin replacement therapy. CONCLUSION The clinical manifestations and treatment regimens of patients with NDM vary according to the type of gene mutation. Even the same mutant genotype has differences in phenotype and response to treatment.

Abstract
Precision medicine, the concept that specific treatments can be targeted to groups of individuals with specific genetic, cellular, or molecular features, is a key aspect of modern healthcare, and its use is rapidly expanding. In diabetes, the application of precision medicine has been demonstrated in monogenic disease, where sulphonylureas are used to treat patients with neonatal diabetes due to mutations in ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channel genes. However, diabetes is highly heterogeneous, both between and within polygenic and monogenic subtypes. Making the correct diagnosis and using the correct treatment from diagnosis can be challenging for clinicians, but it is crucial to prevent long-term morbidity and mortality. To facilitate precision medicine in diabetes, research is needed to develop a better understanding of disease heterogeneity and its impact on potential treatments for specific subtypes. Animal models have been used in diabetes research, but they are not translatable to humans in the majority of cases. Advances in molecular genetics and functional laboratory techniques and availability and sharing of large population data provide exciting opportunities for human studies. This review will map the key elements of future diabetes research in humans and its potential for clinical translation to promote precision medicine in all diabetes subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports pertaining to Asian patients with neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) caused by activating mutations in the ATP-sensitive potassium channel genes (KATP-NDM). OBJECTIVES To elucidate the characteristics of Japanese patients with KATP-NDM. METHODS By the amplification and direct sequencing of all exons and exon-intron boundaries of the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes, 25 patients with KATP-NDM were identified from a total of 70 patients with NDM. Clinical data were collected from the medical charts. RESULTS Sixteen patients had mutations in KCNJ11 and nine in ABCC8. Eight novel mutations were identified; two in KCNJ11 (V64M, R201G) and six in ABCC8 (R216C, G832C, F1176L, A1263V, I196N, T229N). Interestingly, V64M caused DEND (developmental delay, epilepsy, neonatal diabetes) syndrome in our patient, while mutation of the same residue (V64G) had been reported to cause congenital hyperinsulinism. Mutations in ABCC8 were associated with TNDM (4/9) or isolated PNDM (5/9), whereas those in KCNJ11 were associated with more severe phenotypes, including DEND (3/16), iDEND (intermediate DEND, 4/16), or isolated PNDM (6/16). Switching from insulin to glibenclamide monotherapy was successful in 87.5% of the patients. Neurological improvement was observed in two patients, one with DEND (T293N) and one with iDEND (R50P) syndrome. Three others with iDEND mutations (R201C, G53D, and V59M) remained neurologically normal at 5, 1, and 4 years of age, respectively, with early introduction of sulfonylurea. CONCLUSION Overall, clinical presentation of KATP-NDM in Japanese patients was similar to those of other populations. Early introduction of sulfonylurea appeared beneficial in ameliorating neurological symptoms.

Abstract
A 4-month-old male baby was diagnosed with Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus. We identified a novel missense heterogeneous mutation in the KCNJ11 gene at codon 167 (aTC→tTC) in a region that corresponds to a predicted intracellular gate of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report 26 cases of fulminant type 1 diabetes found in Guangdong Medical College Futian Hospital and Central South University Second Xiangya Hospital in China and to study the difference between Chinese and Japanese patients. METHODS The clinical and biochemical characteristics of 26 patients who had been diagnosed with fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus in China were analyzed retrospectively and then compared with those characteristics of 161 patients from a nationwide survey in Japan at the time of diagnosis and follow-up 6 months. RESULTS The mean values of the characteristics from these two data sets, including fasting and postprandial serum C-peptide concentration, serum sodium and potassium level, positive for GADAb were significantly different (P=0.003, P=0.005, P=0.035, P=0.030, P<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The clinical and biochemical characteristics of Chinese patients did not largely differ from those of Japanese patients. Further studies are needed for some unique characteristics found in our group.
