The Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT) Study: Design and Early Results

Diabetes CarePublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The analyses will lead to improved means of atypical diabetes identification. Genetic sequencing can identify new variants, and metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis can identify novel mechanisms and biomarkers for atypical disease.

Study context

Population
Individuals with uncharacterized (rare and atypical) forms of diabetes and, if informative, their family members122 with WGS results
Participants
878 individuals
Outcome
Likely pathogenic variant in a known diabetes monogenic gene
Methodological detailsdesign and early results, network study, genomic, phenotypic, metabolomic and metabolic assessments
  • Design and early results

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Likely pathogenic variant in known monogenic diabetes gene, among 122 with WGS results

3

2.5%

New monogenic variants identified (SMAD5, PTPMT1, INS, NFKB1, IGF1R, PAX6)

6

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Phenotypic clusters

Frequent clusters: lean T2D, autoantibody-negative and insulin-deficient diabetes, lipodystrophic diabetes, and new forms of possible monogenic or oligogenic diabetes
