Table 1 Etiologies of neonatal diabetes

From: Neonatal diabetes mellitus: a disease linked to multiple mechanisms

Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus

Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus

• Chromosome 6 anomalies detected

• Heterozygous activating mutation in KCNJ11 gene and in ABCC8 gene (Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunits of the pancreatic KATP channel)

   - paternal duplications

 

   - paternal isodisomy

 

   - Methylation defect

 

ABCC8 (SUR1) and rarely KCNJ11 (Kir6.2) mutations

• IPEX syndrome: diffuse autoimmunity

• Mitochondrial disease

• Severe pancreatic hypoplasia associated with IPF1 (PDX1) mutation

• Homozygous glucokinase mutation: insensitivity to glucose

• Associated with epiphyseal dysplasia: Wolcott Rallison syndrome

• Possibly associated with enterovirus infection

• Association with cerebellar hypoplasia and PTF1A mutation

• Association with hypothyroidism, glaucoma and GLIS3 mutation
