maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 8 — Definition
Gençlerin Olgunluk-Başlangıçlı Diyabeti Tip 8 / maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 8
It is a monogenic form of diabetes and is also known as MODY 8. This disease occurs as a result of a genetic mutation that affects insulin secretion in the beta cells of the pancreas. Generally diagnosed before 25 years old and exhibits a clinical picture similar to type 2 diabetes, but insulin secretion is in the forefront, rather than insulin resistance. MODY 8 is especially associated with mutations in the CEL gene and shows autosomal dominant inheritance.
Disease Definition
🔬 Disease Definition
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 8 (MODY8), pankreasın ekzokrin ve endokrin fonksiyonlarını etkileyen, otozomal dominant geçişli nadir bir monogenik diyabet formudur. Genellikle 25 yaş altında ortaya çıkar ve pankreas lipomatozu ile karakterizedir.
🧬 Causes & Risk Factors
MODY8, kromozom 9q34 üzerindeki CEL (karboksil ester lipaz) genindeki heterozigot mutasyonlardan kaynaklanır. Bu mutasyonlar, pankreas asiner hücrelerinde anormal protein birikimine ve hücre hasarına yol açar.
🩺 Symptoms & Signs
Hafif hiperglisemi, glukoz tolerans bozukluğu, diyabet, pankreas lipomatozuna bağlı ekzokrin pankreas yetmezliği (steatore, kilo kaybı), karın ağrısı, bazen asemptomatik seyir.
📋 Diagnostic Methods
Klinik şüphe, aile öyküsü, genetik test (CEL gen mutasyon analizi), pankreas görüntülemesi (BT/MRI'da lipomatoz), oral glukoz tolerans testi, C-peptid ve otoantikor negatifliği.
💊 Treatment Options
Diyet ve egzersiz, oral antidiyabetikler (sülfonilüreler, metformin), insülin tedavisi (gerekirse), ekzokrin yetmezlikte pankreatik enzim replasmanı, kan şekeri takibi.
⚠️ Complications
Diyabetik komplikasyonlar (retinopati, nefropati, nöropati), ekzokrin pankreas yetmezliği, malabsorpsiyon, pankreatit, nadiren pankreas kanseri riski.
