Comment
The study identified mutations in 11 (19%) of the 56 clinically diagnosed MODY subjects and seven of these mutations were novel. The identified mutations include p.H241Q, p.E59Q, c.-162G>A 5' UTR in NEUROD1, p.V169I cosegregating with c.493-4G>A and c.493-20C>T, p.E271K in HNF4A, p.A501S in HNF1A, p.E440X in GCK, p.V177M in PDX1, p.L92F in HNF1B and p.R31L in PAX4 genes. Interestingly, two patients with NEUROD1 mutation were also positive for the p.E224K mutation in PDX1 gene. These patients with coexisting NEUROD1-PDX1 mutations showed a marked reduction in glucose-induced insulin secretion. All 24 subjects who had not met the clinical criteria of MODY were negative for the mutations.
