AbstractObjectivesNeonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that is usually diagnosed in the first six months of life.Case presentationWe report on a male infant with neonatal diabetes who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis at two months and 16 days. A novel homozygous missense mutation (c.259T>G) was identified in the ABCC8 gene. In this case, insulin was replaced with glimepiride at a dosage of 0.49 mg/kg/day at five months, and this achieved metabolic control and satisfactory growth as observed at follow-up.ConclusionsThis report improves our understanding of the mutational spectrum of ABCC8, which is normally associated with NDM, and shows that the treatment regimen for this condition can be successfully switched from insulin therapy to the use of sulfonylurea.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is defined as hyperglycemia that persists for more than 2 weeks and requires insulin therapy. NDM principally occurs before 6 months of age. Transient NDM (TNDM) is a clinical form of NDM that persists for a median of 12 weeks and resolves completely by 18 months. However, it may relapse as type 2 DM during early adulthood. The major causes of TNDM are mutations in chromosome 6q24 or the KCNJ11 or ABCC8 genes; the latter encode the two subunits of the pancreatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channel (KATP-channel). This condition responds well to oral sulfonylurea therapy. Herein, we report a neonate who was small for gestational age and exhibited TNDM symptoms. Genetic analysis revealed a nonspecific mutation in ABCC8; he was successfully treated with oral sulfonylurea.

Abstract Background: Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) occurs within the first 6 months of life. Advances in molecular genetics have identified various causatives genes. Mutations in EIF2AK3 causes Wolcott-Rallison syndrome characterized by NDM, multiple epiphyseal dysphasia and growth retardation. PTF1A is associated with the development of pancreas and cerebellum. Both EIF2AK3 and PTF1A mutations are causative genes for permanent NDM with spontaneous and autosomal recessive inheritance. We report a neonate with transient NDM with both EIF2AK3 and PTF1A variants confirmed by Sanger sequencing where each parent found to be a heterozygous carrier of each mutation. Case presentation: A two-day old boy was transferred from a local hospital due to hyperglycemia (blood glucose of 385 mg/dL) and glycosuria. Serum c-peptide (0.06 ng/mL) and insulin (0.64 μU/mL) were low. The patient did not present sings of ketoacidosis and was screened negative for pancreatic autoantibodies. The patient did not have any family history of diabetes. Molecular genetic analysis was performed and continuous infusion of intravenous insulin with pre-prandial bolus was started. Oral sulfonylurea therapy was attempted to prevent adverse neurocognitive outcome however, it showed no response and unable to stabilize blood glucose level. Targeted panel sequencing identified two different novel variants: a heterozygous missense mutation (c.3272G>T) in exon 17 of EIF2AK3 gene and heterozygous missense mutation (c.53C > T) in exon 1 of PTF1A gene; both of which have not been previously reported and were no likely pathogenic variants. The patient’s father confirmed to be heterozygous carriers of the EIF2AK3 mutation while mother being heterozygous carriers of the PTF1A mutation. Blood glucose level gradually began to stabilize with insulin therapy, and upon discharge the patient switched to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (pump) with continuous glucose monitoring. Conclusions: NDM caused by in combination of EIF2AK3 and PTF1A gene mutation is a rare condition and could resemble the disease progress of transient form of NDM. Although hyperglycemia might not be an issue of lifelong period, early genetic screening and prompt insulin initiation with consistent glucose monitoring are able to prevent further diabetic complications. In addition, the result of genetic testing in our patient raises the possibility of NDM as polygenic form of diabetes.

Introduction of the methods for molecular-genetic analysis into clinical practice has opened up new prospects for both diagnosis and pathogenetically sound therapy of neonatal diabetes mellitus. It is currently known that the overwhelming majority of the cases of diabetes mellitus developing in children during the first six month of life are associated with defects of the genes controlling formation, development, and functional activity of pancreatic beta-cells whereas type 1 diabetes mellitus of autoimmune origin accounts for less than 1% of this pathology. This paper reports the results of a molecular-genetic study of 14 patients presenting with neonatal diabetes mellitus. Nine cases are shown to have developed as a result of mutations in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. ABCC8 mutations are described for the first time in Russia. Analysis of clinical forms of neonatal diabetes mellitus revealed correlation between the type of mutations, clinical features of the disease, and susceptibility of the patients to sulfonylurea drugs.
