Support for tailored genetic counseling in people with incidentally discovered MODY mutations

Mutations in HNF1A and HNF4A are less likely to be associated with a diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young when discovered incidentally versus in a clinically selected cohort, research suggests.

First-in-class glucokinase activator dorzagliatin could help treat some GK-MODY patients

Dorzagliatin treatment has increased insulin secretion and improved beta-cell function in patients with glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young, also known as MODY2, in a small phase 1 trial.

Case series suggests SGLT2 inhibitors could be useful add-on therapy for MODY3

Results from a small case series in Denmark suggest SGLT2 inhibitors could be a useful add-on therapy for people with maturity-onset diabetes of the young.

Genetic influence stronger for youth- than adult-onset type 2 diabetes

The effect of common genetic variants on the risk for type 2 diabetes is markedly stronger for youth-onset than adult-onset disease, report researchers.

GLIMLINA: Glimepirideā€“linagliptin combination shows potential for HNF1A-MODY

Adding linagliptin to glimepiride treatment reduces some measures of glycemic variability and improves glycemic control in patients with HNF1A-MODY, indicate findings from the GLIMLINA trial.

Islet autoantibody negativity, mild hyperglycemia should trigger MODY genetic screening

Islet autoantibody negativity plus mild hyperglycemia and a family history of diabetes can be used to identify children newly diagnosed with diabetes who should undergo genetic testing for maturity-onset diabetes of the young, study findings indicate.

Cluster analysis may help to predict diabetic complications

Allocating people with diabetes to one of five previously described data-driven clusters may help to identify those at high immediate risk for developing diabetic neuropathy or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, say researchers.
