17q12 Deletion Syndrome as a Rare Cause for Diabetes Mellitus Type MODY5

Natascha Roehlen et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. .

Abstract

Context: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) is caused by mutations of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox β gene (HNF1B). Although clinical characteristics and therapeutic management of MODY5 are increasingly better defined, adequate consideration of the frequent association of MODY5 with 17q12 deletion syndrome is often missing.

Evidence acquisition: We report two cases of patients with 17q12 deletion syndrome who presented to our clinic. Furthermore, we reviewed the existing literature to improve systematic diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. A PubMed search using the terms 17q12 deletion syndrome, diabetes mellitus type MODY5, and/or HNF1B was performed.

Evidence synthesis: Three hundred sixty-one cases of postnatal 17q12 deletion syndrome were assessed, and details on clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic management were reviewed and compared with the two cases at our clinic. Furthermore, data on pathogenic mechanisms and their clinical implications were evaluated.

Conclusion: The 17q12 deletion syndrome usually comprises MODY5, structural or functional abnormalities of the kidneys, and neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders. A complete deletion of HNF1B can be found in about 50% of patients with MODY5. A wide variety of additional clinical features, including genital and brain malformations, has been reported. Because HNF1B deletions are virtually always part of a 17q12 deletion syndrome and common genetic analyses for evaluation of MODY5 are unable to detect the deletion of a 1.4-Mb chromosomal region, initial attention to the syndromal features at the stage of diagnosis is of considerable importance for establishing correct diagnosis, subsequent therapy, and interdisciplinary patient care.
