Popis: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY; OMIM # 606391) comprises a cluster of inherited disorders within non-autoimmune diabetes mellitus (DM), typically emerging during adolescence or young adulthood. We report a novel in-frame deletion of HNF1B in a family with renal cysts and MODY, furthering our understanding of HNF1B-related phenotypes. We conducted sequential genetic testing to investigate the glucose intolerance, renal cysts, hepatic cysts, and agenesis of the dorsal pancreas observed in the proband. A comprehensive clinical exome sequencing approach using a Celemics G-Mendeliome Clinical Exome Sequencing Panel was employed. Considering the clinical manifestations observed in the proband, gene panel sequencing identified a heterozygous HNF1B variant, c.36_38delCCT/p.(Leu13del) (reference transcript ID: NM_000458.4), as the most likely cause of MODY in the proband. The patient’s clinical presentation was consistent with MODY caused by the HNF1B variant, showing signs of glucose intolerance, renal cysts, hepatic cysts, and agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. Sanger sequencing confirmed the same HNF1B variant and established the paternally inherited autosomal dominant status of the heterozygous variant in the patient, as well as in his father and sister. The presence of early-onset diabetes, renal cysts, a family history of the condition, and nephropathy appearing before or after the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) suggests a diagnosis of HNF1B-MODY5. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing complications of DM, enabling family screening, providing pre-conceptional genetic counseling, and monitoring kidney function decline.
