Objective: Neonatal diabetes is caused by single gene mutations reducing pancreatic β-cell number or impairing β-cell function. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of rare diabetes subtypes highlights fundamental biological processes in β-cells. Our aim was to explore the genetic basis of a syndrome characterized by neonatal diabetes, microcephaly and epilepsy.
Methods: We performed whole genome sequencing for 2 unrelated patients with neonatal diabetes (diagnosed aged 5 and 9 weeks), born to consanguineous parents. Replication studies were performed in 187 patients with early-onset diabetes by a targeted next generation sequencing assay. We used three human β-cell models (YIPF5 silencing in EndoC-βH1 cells, YIPF5 knock-out and mutation knock-in in embryonic stem cells, and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells) to investigate the mechanism through which YIPF5 loss-of-function affects β-cells.
Results: We identified 6 patients from 5 families with homozygous mutations in the YIPF5 gene, which is involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi trafficking. All patients had neonatal/early-onset diabetes, severe microcephaly and epilepsy. YIPF5 is expressed during human brain development, in adult brain and pancreatic islets. Loss of YIPF5 function in stem cell-derived islet cells resulted in proinsulin retention in the ER, marked ER stress and β-cell failure. Partial YIPF5 silencing in EndoC-βH1 cells and a patient mutation in stem cells increased the β-cell sensitivity to ER stress-induced apoptosis.
Conclusions: We report recessive YIPF5 mutations as the genetic cause of a novel syndrome of microcephaly, epilepsy and neonatal/early-onset diabetes, highlighting a critical role of YIPF5 in β-cells and neurons. This is the first report of mutations disrupting the ER-to-Golgi trafficking resulting in diabetes.
