| Summary: | The most common form of monogenic diabetes is MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young). It ranks among genetic defects of the β cell. It is clinically heterogenous group of disorders characterised with non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with autosomal dominant inheritance and age at diagnosis up to 40 years. We specified the diagnosis of MODY in more than 240 Czech families using molecular-genetic approach. The most common subtype of MODY is GCK-MODY which was proved in 376 subjects from 175 families. The risk of macrovascular complications in patiens with GCK-MODY was not detected. Additionally, we tested the ancestral origin of 4 recurrent mutations in the GCK gene causing GCK-MODY using genetic and statistical methods. We showed that three mutations (p.Glu40Lys, p.Leu315His, p.Gly318Arg) spread approximately 82-110 generations ago due to a founder effect. We also dealed with the impact of the rs560887 polymorphism on the phenotype of the patients with GCK-MODY. The genotype GG was associated with higher level of glycated haemoglobin. Analysis of patients suspect for HNF1A- or HNF4A-MODY revealed the probably first evidence of patient with HNF1A-MODY present with macrosomia and recurring ketotic hypoglycaemias in the childhood. The rare MODY genes were investigated in patients fulfilling the... |
