Abstract

Aims Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) caused by glucokinase (GCK) mutations is characterized by lifelong mild non-progressive hyperglycemia, with low frequency of coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to other types of diabetes. The aim of this study is to estimate cardiovascular risk by coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in this group.Materials and methods Twenty-nine GCK-MODY cases, 26 normoglycemic controls (recruited among non-affected relatives/spouses of GCK mutation carriers), and 24 unrelated individuals with type 2 diabetes were studied. Patients underwent CAC score evaluation by computed tomography and were classified by Agatston score ≥ or < 10. Framingham Risk scores of CAD in 10 years were calculated.Results Median [interquartile range] CAC score in GCK-MODY was 0 [0,0], similar to controls (0 [0,0], P = 0.49), but lower than type 2 diabetes (39 [0, 126], P = 2.6 × 10-5). A CAC score ≥ 10 was seen in 6.9% of the GCK group, 7.7% of Controls (P = 1.0), and 54.2% of individuals with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.0006). Median Framingham risk score was lower in GCK than type 2 diabetes (3% vs. 13%, P = 4 × 10-6), but similar to controls (3% vs. 4%, P = 0.66).Conclusions CAC score in GCK-MODY is similar to control individuals from the same family and/or household and is significantly lower than type 2 diabetes. Besides demonstrating low risk of CAD in GCK-MODY, these findings may contribute to understanding the specific effect of hyperglycemia in CAD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
