Lipid profile indices in young people with GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY
Despite the fact that most young patients with hyperglycemia are diagnosed with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes, up to 10 % of all cases of the disease are MODY diabetes. The most common types of MODY are GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY, therefore the investigation of their clinical and laboratory characteristics, including lipid spectrum indicators is of high clinical significance. The aim of this research work was to study the values of lipid spectrum indicators in patients diagnosed with GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY at the age from 18 to 45 years. Lipid profile parameters were investigated in 56 patients aged 18 to 45 years with diagnosed GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY by molecular genetic tests, matched by sex, age and body mass index (BMI). No statistically significant differences were found for any of the indicators, however, in patients with HNF1A-MODY, the decrease in HDL-C is determined significantly more often than in GCKMODY. Thus, the group of persons with MODY differs in the level of lipid profile indices depending on the type of MODY.
