Introduction: Diabetes mellitus classified as Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance with insulin secretory disturbances.
Case Report: In 2 siblings with diabetes mellitus manifestation at age under 25 years, low fasting glucose levels, severely elevated glucose levels upon glucose challenge and absent autoantibodies for IA2 and GAD clarification for MODY was sought. Mutational screening for MODY 1-3 mutations was carried out by direct sequencing followed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA).
Conclusion: We identified a mutation within the hepatic nuclear factor 4A (HNF-4A) gene hitherto unreported for MODY-1. A causative role of the mutation is not proven, however in the 2 index patients similar phenotypes are present. These cases underline the necessity to screen for MODY when the medical history and lack of autoantibodies suggest alternative diagnoses beside type 1 diabetes.

Monogenic diabetes is a gateway to precision medicine through molecular mechanistic insight. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF-1A) and HNF-4A are transcription factors that engage in crossregulatory gene transcription networks to maintain glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells. Variants in the HNF1A and HNF4A genes are associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha (HNF-4A) regulates genes with roles in glucose metabolism and β-cell development. Although pathogenic HNF4A variants are commonly associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY1; HNF4A-MODY), rare phenotypes also include hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, renal Fanconi syndrome and liver disease. While the association of rare functionally damaging HNF1A variants with HNF1A-MODY and type 2 diabetes is well established owing to robust functional assays, the impact of HNF4A variants on HNF-4A transactivation in tissues including the liver and kidney is less known, due to lack of similar assays.

Summary: The coexistence of autoimmune diabetes and maturity-onset diabetes (MODY) is rare. The absence of pancreatic autoantibodies is a key factor prompting MODY genetic testing. In this study, we report three cases of young-onset diabetes with progressive beta-cell dysfunction, strongly positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies, and genetic confirmation of pathogenic gene variants of HNF-1A, HNF-4A, and ABCC8-MODY.

The caudal-related homeobox protein 1 (CDX1) is a transcription factor, which is important in the development, differentiation, and homeostasis of the gut. Although the involvement of CDX genes in the regulation of the expression levels of a few glycosyltransferases has been shown, associations between glycosylation phenotypes and CDX1 mRNA expression have hitherto not been well studied. Triggered by our previous study, we here characterized the -glycomic phenotype of 16 colon cancer cell lines, selected for their differential CDX1 mRNA expression levels.

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a severe clinical condition of primary concern and currently, there is no effective therapeutic reagent. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of IA via bioinformatic analysis. Various gene expression profiles (GSE26969) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including 3 IA and 3 normal superficial temporal artery samples.
