Özet
Background Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), which is the most common cause of monogenic diabetes, has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and exhibits marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The aim of the current study was to investigate molecular defects in patients with clinically suspected MODY using a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based targeted gene panel. Methods Candidate patients with clinical suspicion of MODY and their parents were included in the study. Molecular genetic analyses were performed on genomic DNA by using NGS. A panel of ten MODY-causal genes involving GCK, HNF1A, HNF1B, HNF4A, ABCC8, CEL, INS, KCNJ11, NEUROD1, PDX1 was designed and subsequently implemented to screen 40 patients for genetic variants. Results Ten different pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were identified in MODY-suspected patients, with a diagnostic rate of 25%. Three variants of uncertain significance were also detected in the same screen. A novel pathogenic variant in the gene HNF1A (c.505_506delAA [p.Lys169AlafsTer18]) was described for the first time in this report. Intriguingly, we were able to detect variants associated with rare forms of MODY in our study population. Conclusions Our results suggest that in heterogenous diseases such as MODY, NGS analysis enables accurate identification of underlying molecular defects in a timely and cost-effective manner. Although MODY accounts for 2-5% of all diabetic cases, molecular genetic diagnosis of MODY is necessary for optimal long-term treatment and prognosis as well as for effective genetic counseling.
