Clinical characteristics and molecular genetic analysis of 22 patients with neonatal diabetes from the south-eastern region of Turkey: predominance of non-KATP channel mutations
Background: neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, and usually presents in the first 6 months of life. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and molecular genetics of a large Turkish cohort of NDM patients from a single centre and estimate an annual incidence rate of NDM in South-Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey.

Design and Methods: NDM patients presenting to Diyarbakir Children State Hospital between 2010 and 2013, and patients under follow up with presumed type 1 diabetes mellitus, with onset before 6 months of age were recruited. Molecular genetic analysis performed.

Results: twenty-two patients(59% males) were diagnosed with NDM(TNDM-5;PNDM-17). Molecular genetic analysis identified a mutation in 20(95%) patients who a mutation analysis was undertaken. In TNDM patients, the genetic cause included chromosome 6q24 abnormalities(n=3), ABCC8(n=1) and homozygous INS(n=1). In PNDM patients, homozygous GCK(n=6), EIF2AK3(n=3), PTF1A(n=3), and INS(n=1) and heterozygous KCNJ11(n=2) mutations were identified. Pancreatic exocrine dysfunction was observed in patients with mutations in the distal PTF1A enhancer. Both patients with a KCNJ11 mutation responded to oral sulfonylurea. A variable phenotype was associated with the homozygous c.-331C>A INS mutation, which was identified in both a PNDM and TNDM patient. The annual incidence of PNDM in South-East Anatolian region of Turkey was 1 in 48,000 live births.

Conclusions: homozygous mutations in GCK, EIF2AK3 and the distal enhancer region of PTF1A were the commonest causes of NDM in our cohort. The high rate of detection a mutation likely reflects the contribution of new genetic techniques (targeted next generation sequencing) and increased consanguinity within our cohort

Abstract

Background: neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, and usually presents in the first 6 months of life. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and molecular genetics of a large Turkish cohort of NDM patients from a single centre and estimate an annual incidence rate of NDM in South-Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey.

Design and Methods: NDM patients presenting to Diyarbakir Children State Hospital between 2010 and 2013, and patients under follow up with presumed type 1 diabetes mellitus, with onset before 6 months of age were recruited. Molecular genetic analysis performed.

Results: twenty-two patients(59% males) were diagnosed with NDM(TNDM-5;PNDM-17). Molecular genetic analysis identified a mutation in 20(95%) patients who a mutation analysis was undertaken. In TNDM patients, the genetic cause included chromosome 6q24 abnormalities(n=3), ABCC8(n=1) and homozygous INS(n=1). In PNDM patients, homozygous GCK(n=6), EIF2AK3(n=3), PTF1A(n=3), and INS(n=1) and heterozygous KCNJ11(n=2) mutations were identified. Pancreatic exocrine dysfunction was observed in patients with mutations in the distal PTF1A enhancer. Both patients with a KCNJ11 mutation responded to oral sulfonylurea. A variable phenotype was associated with the homozygous c.-331C>A INS mutation, which was identified in both a PNDM and TNDM patient. The annual incidence of PNDM in South-East Anatolian region of Turkey was 1 in 48,000 live births.

Conclusions: homozygous mutations in GCK, EIF2AK3 and the distal enhancer region of PTF1A were the commonest causes of NDM in our cohort. The high rate of detection a mutation likely reflects the contribution of new genetic techniques (targeted next generation sequencing) and increased consanguinity within our cohort
