Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) is a rare disorder usually presenting within 6 months of birth. Although several genes have been linked to this disorder, in almost half the cases documented Italy, genetic cause remains unknown. Because Akita mouse bearing mutation Ins2 gene exhibits PNDM associated with pancreatic β cell apoptosis, we sequenced human insulin subjects unidentified mutations. We discovered 7 heterozygous mutations 10 unrelated probands. In 8 these patients,...

Abstract This longitudinal population-based study analyses the frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at type 1 diabetes diagnosis in Italian children under 15 years age, during 2004–2013. DKA was defined as absent (pH ≥ 7.30), mild/moderate (7.1 ≤ pH &lt; 7.30) and severe 7.1). Two multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate time trend considered present versus absent, adjusted for gender, age group geographical area residence diagnosis. Overall, 9,040 cases ascertained....
