Variants influencing age at diagnosis of HNF1A-MODY.

ABSTRACT:

Background

HNF1A-MODY is a monogenic form of diabetes caused by variants in the HNF1A gene. Different HNF1A variants are associated with differences in age of disease onset, but other factors are postulated to influence this trait. Here, we searched for genetic variants influencing age of HNF1A-MODY onset.

Methods

Blood samples from 843 HNF1A-MODY patients from Czech Republic, France, Poland, Slovakia, the UK and the US were collected. A validation set consisted of 121 patients from the US. We conducted a genome-wide association study in 843 HNF1A-MODY patients. Samples were genotyped using Illumina Human Core arrays. The core analysis was performed using the GENESIS package in R statistical software. Kinship coefficients were estimated with the KING and PC-Relate algorithms
