Early glibenclamide treatment in a clinical newborn with KCNJ11 gene mutation.
A ctivating mutations in the KCNJ11 gene, which code for the ATPsensitive K channel subunit Kir6.2, are the most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes. Recently, a switch from insulin treatment to oral sulfonylurea has been proposed if genetic testing reveals sulfonylurea-sensitive KCNJ11 mutations (1). Until now, hurdles for early treatment were 1) the time until the mutation analysis is...
متن کاملA New Nonsense Mutation in CDKL5 Gene in a Male Patient with Early Onset Refractory Epilepsy: a Case Report
Background The X-linked cyclin-dependent kinase like 5 (CDKL5/STK9) gene has been shown to be responsible for a severe encephalopathy condition characterized by early onset of epilepsy and severe developmental delay. CDKL5 mutations have been shown to be more frequent among female patients. Results Here we report a 6- month male patient, second child of a healthy non consanguineous in the Irani...
متن کاملClinical and Molecular Genetic Analysis of Iranian Patients with Neonatal Diabetes demonstrating Mutations in KCNJ11 gene
Abstract We screened the KCNJ11 gene from 35 individuals clinically diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus under the age of 6 months in 3 years duration. Six different heterozygous missense mutations were found in 7 of the 35 probands, which accounted for 20% of all individuals. A novel mutation W68R (No Locus, GU170814; 2009) was identified in the kir6.2, the pore-forming subunit of the KATP ...
متن کاملGlibenclamide unresponsiveness in a Brazilian child with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus and DEND syndrome due to a C166Y mutation in KCNJ11 (Kir6.2) gene.
Heterozygous activating mutations of KCNJ11 (Kir6.2) are the most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) and several cases have been successfully treated with oral sulfonylureas. We report on the attempted transfer of insulin therapy to glibenclamide in a 4-year old child with PNDM and DEND syndrome, bearing a C166Y mutation in KCNJ11. An inpatient transition from subcutane...
متن کاملSuccessful sulfonylurea treatment in a patient with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus with a novel KCNJ11 mutation
Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus refers to diabetes that occurs before the age of 6 months and persists through life. It is a rare disorder affecting one in 0.2-0.5 million live births. Mutations in the gene KCNJ11, encoding the subunit Kir6.2, and ABCC8, encoding SUR1 of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, are the most common causes of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Sulfonyl...
