Screening of the PAX4 coding region was performed by Sanger sequencing. In silico algorithms were used to assess the potential impact of amino acid substitutions on protein structure and function. Additionally, PAX4-MODY family members and 158 control subjects without diabetes were analyzed for the identified mutation.Results: The molecular analysis of PAX4 has detected one missense mutation, p.Arg164Gln (c.491G>A), segregating with diabetes in a large Brazilian family. The mutation was absent among the control group. The index case is a woman diagnosed at 32 years of age with polyneuropathy and treated with insulin. She did not present diabetic renal disease or retinopathy. Family members with the PAX4 p.Arg164Gln mutation have a heterogeneous clinical manifestation and treatment response, with age at diagnosis ranging from 24 years to 50 years.Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report a PAX4-MODY family in Brazil. The age of PAX4-MODY diagnosis in the Brazilian family seems to be higher than the classical criteria for MODY. Our results reinforce the importance of screening large monogenic diabetes families for the understanding of the clinical manifestations of rare forms of diabetes for the specific and personalized treatment.Keywords: diabetes mellitus, monogenic diabetes, MODY, PAX4, mutation |
