An improved time-action profile of bolus insulin would be able to cover the rapid increase in glucose after meals with a rapid fall thereafter to avoid postprandial hypoglycemia. The third-generation basal insulins allowing once-weekly dosing made major steps toward becoming a clinical reality. However, issues with insulin affordability and availability remain problematic even in more affluent countries.

We reanalyzed genetic testing in 10 subjects with 14 unique VUS on MODY genes that was performed >3 years before the study. Demographic, clinical, and biochemical data was collected for those individuals.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After reanalysis, 43% (6/14) of the gene variants were reclassified to a different category: 7% (1/14) were \"likely pathogenic\" and 36% (5/14) were \"benign\" or \"likely benign.\" The reclassified pathogenic variant was in HNF1A and all reclassified benign variants were in HNF1A, HNF1B and PDX1. The median time between MODY testing and reclassification was 8 years (range: 4-10 years).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In sum, iterative reanalyzing the genetic data from VUS found during MODY testing may provide high-yield diagnostic information. Further studies are warranted to identify the optimal time and frequency for such analyses.</p>","PeriodicalId":13025,"journal":{"name":"Hormone Research in Paediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"524-531"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141160037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
