Abstract

Aims: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is an early-onset, monogenic diabetes with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Single gene mutations that cause dysfunction in pancreatic beta cells are responsible for MODY etiology. In this study, we investigated the genetic variants involved in the etiopathogenesis of MODY in our region.
Methods: Between May 2018 and April 2023, 40 pediatric patients (n=25 females, n=15 males) with a clinical diagnosis of MODY were evaluated by targeted genome sequencing.
Results: Among the 40 pediatric patients included in this study, variants in MODY-associated genes were detected in 21 patients (52.5%), eight (38.09%), of which were pathogenic (38.09%), five (23.8%) were probable pathogenic, and eight (38.09%), were of uncertain significance.
Conclusion: In this study, genetic diagnostic yield (including pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants) was detected in 32.5% (13/40) patients with MODY using targeted genome sequencing analysis. This rate is consistent with other studies. However, unlike other similar studies, the MODY12 subtype was the second most frequent in our study. In addition, nine novel variants were reported, including ABCC8 (n=3), CEL (n=2), KLF11 (n=1), GCK (n=1), HNF1A (n=1), and HNF1B (n=1) genes. We have presented clinical findings to improve genotype-phenotype correlation in the literature for novel variants.
