Objective and Subjective Sleep Patterns in Adults With Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY)

Diabetes CarePublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Sleep disturbances appear to be common in adults with MODY despite absent traditional risk factors for sleep disorders. Future research investigating the sleep-diabetes relationship is warranted in this population.

Study context

Population
Adults with GCK-MODY and transcription factor (TF)-related MODY from The University of Chicago's Monogenic Diabetes Registry; age 46.0 years, 79% women, BMI 24.7 kg/m²
Participants
24 adults
Exposure
GCK-MODY vs TF-related MODY
Outcome
Sleep patterns by 2-week wrist actigraphy (315 nights), one-night home sleep apnea test and validated surveys
Methodological detailssingle-registry recruitment, wrist actigraphy, home sleep apnea test
  • Single-registry recruitment
  • Wrist actigraphy
  • Home sleep apnea test

Further findings

Objective sleep quality and night-to-night variability by MODY type

TF-related MODY had poorer objective sleep quality and increased night-to-night variability in sleep patterns vs GCK-MODY
