MODY is an autosomal dominant condition with onset in childhood and young adulthood, while NDM is defined with diabetes onset within 6 months of age and can be caused by dominant, recessive, X-linked genes or by chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we describe a rare case of monogenic diabetes in a patient who is homozygous for an <jats:italic>INS<\/jats:italic> gene variant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research design and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The index patient, a male diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, was treated with low-dose insulin and metformin. Blood plasma was collected under fasting conditions for analysis. MODY screening was performed using a next-generation sequencing panel. In silico analysis of the insulin variant\u2019s three-dimensional structure and its interaction with the insulin receptor was conducted. Insulin receptor affinity and downstream signaling potency were evaluated in vitro.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Auto-immune diabetes was excluded. A homozygous missense variant of the <jats:italic>INS<\/jats:italic> gene (c.130G&gt;A, p.Gly44Arg) was identified in the patient. The combination of three different insulin assays showed that the biosynthesis of proinsulin into insulin was intact. In silico analysis of the mutant insulin 3D structure revealed that the <jats:italic>INS<\/jats:italic> variant is likely to affect insulin receptor binding and subsequent in vitro analysis suggested reduced potency in downstream signaling.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The homozygous c.130G&gt;A variant in the <jats:italic>INS<\/jats:italic> gene results in reduced insulin receptor binding and signaling potency. This, combined with pancreatic \u03b2-cell apoptosis or dedifferentiation supposedly, has contributed in the late-onset of monogenic diabetes in the index patient.<\/jats:p>\n
