dc.description.abstractAims: This study is aimed at comparing whole exome sequencing (WES) data with the clinical presentation in children with type 1 diabetes onset ≤ 5 years of age (EOT1D). Methods: WES was performed in 99 unrelated children with EOT1D with subsequent analysis to identify potentially deleterious rare variants in MODY genes. High-resolution HLA class II haplotyping, SNP genotyping, and T1D-genetic risk score (T1D-GRS) were also evaluated. Results: Eight of the ninety-nine EOT1D participants carried a potentially deleterious rare variant in a MODY gene. Rare variants affected five genes: GCK (n = 1), HNF1B (n = 2), HNF4A (n = 1), PDX1 (n = 2), and RFX6 (n = 2). At diagnosis, these children had a mean age of 3.0 years, a mean HbA1c of 10.5%, a detectable C-peptide in 5/8, and a positive islet autoantibody in 6/7. Children with MODY variants tend to exhibit a lower number of pancreatic autoantibodies and a lower fasting C-peptide compared to EOT1D without MODY rare variants. They also carried at least one high-risk DR3-DQ2 or DR4-DQ8 haplotype and exhibited a T1D-GRS similar to the other individuals in the EOT1D cohort, but higher than healthy controls. Conclusions: WES found potentially deleterious rare variants in MODY genes in 8.1% of EOT1D, occurring in the context of a T1D genetic background. Such genetic variants may contribute to disease precipitation by a β-cell dysfunction mechanism. This supports the concept of different endotypes of T1D, and WES at T1D onset may be a prerequisite for the implementation of precision therapies in children with autoimmune diabetes.en
