Abstract
It is estimated that ~1% of European-ancestry patients clinically diagnosed with type 1
diabetes (T1D) actually have monogenic forms of the disease. Because of the much
lower incidence of true T1D in East Asians, we hypothesised that the percentage would
be much higher.
To test this, we sequenced the exome of 82 Chinese Han patients clinically diagnosed
as T1D but negative for three autoantibodies. Analysis focused on established or
proposed mongenic diabetes genes.
We found credible mutations in 18 of the 82 autoantibody-negative patients (19.5%).
All mutations had consensus pathogenicity support by five algorithms. As in Europeans,
the most common gene was HNF1A (MODY3), in 6/18 cases. Surprisingly, almost as
frequent were diallelic mutations in WFS1, known to cause Wolfram syndrome but also
described in non-syndromic cases. Fasting C-peptide varied widely and was not
predictive.
Given the 27.4% autoantibody negativity in Chinese and 22% mutation rate, we
estimate that around 6% of Chinese with a clinical T1D diagnosis have monogenic
diabetes.
Our findings support universal sequencing of autoantibody-negative cases as standard
of care in East Asian patients with a clinical T1D diagnosis. Non-syndromic diabetes
with WSF1 mutations is not rare in Chinese. Its response to alternative treatments
should be investigated.

Introduction:
Genetic risk for diabetes is, in most cases, a complex trait. However, monogenic forms
of diabetes do occur(1). These are often misdiagnosed as either type 1 (T1D) or type 2
(T2D) diabetes, an error of therapeutic consequences, as many of these cases can be
treated with sulfonylureas or GLP-1 agonists, obviating insulin injections and
improving metabolic control (2-4). Patients with pathogenic GCK variants can be
treated only with lifestyle advice.
Correct diagnosis in patients clinically diagnosed as T1D (T1Dclin) is challenging.
Because of the extremely high specificity of T1D autoantibodies, screening for
autoantibody negativity is a meaningful first step. This narrows the search to about 20%
of T1Dclin cases who, however, most still probably have autoimmune T1D (5). Family
history is currently the most important clue, based on autosomal dominant inheritance
(1). However, an “agnostic” testing of autoantibody negative cases in the Search for
Diabetes in Youth cohort found that 50% of cases with documented monogenic diabetes
have no family history (6). A similar testing in the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes
Registry shows convincing evidence of monogenic diabetes in about 4% of
autoantibody negative childhood-onset cases (T1Dclin in their vast majority), (7).
Preserved endogenous insulin secretion has been proposed as a screening criterion (8)
but it may not be reliable in T1Dclin cases. Given the substantial benefit to the
individual patient, and with recent methodological advances in molecular diagnostics,
a case can be made for universal testing of all autoantibody negative T1Dclin cases. To
test this, we undertook sequencing in Chinese autoantibody negative T1Dclin cases.

T1D is much less common in East Asians (EA) (Chinese, Koreans and Japanese)
compared to Europeans (9). With a lower denominator, we hypothesised that the
positive yield would be higher.
Methods:
Participants
In the process of recruiting cases for the discovery stage of a T1D genome-wide
association study (GWAS), the first in EA(10), we tested for autoantibodies in most of
the 1,121 subjects (newly diagnosed, with BMI < 24kg/m2, and with at least one episode
of ketosis, 586 males and 535 females). Informed consent was obtained from the
patients or parents/guardians, in a protocol approved by the Ethics Committee of the
First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, in conformity with the
Declaration of Helsinki.
Selection of genes
We selected a broad list of monogenic diabetes genes from the literature (Ref. 8) , listed
in Table S1. To cover possible broad phenotypic heterogeneity, we included genes for
neonatal and syndromic diabetes, e.g. WFS1, whose mutations might cause diabetes
without other manifestations of Wolfram syndrome (11) and mitochondrial DNA 2967-
3367.
Pancreatic islet specific autoantibody testing
T1Dclin cases were tested for autoantibodies against GADA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A by
Page 6 of 40Diabetes

radioimmunoassay (12). Cases negative for all three were excluded from the GWAS
and recruited for our project.
Whole-exome sequencing (WES).
Out of the 195 autoantibody negative subjects that available, 82 DNA samples that
passed the quality control of the sequencing company, were sequenced: (no significant
degradation and quantity >500ng). Capture was carried out with the Agilent SureSelect
Human All Exon V6 library followed by sequencing on the Illumina hiSeq at a 100x
depth, by the Shanghai Yuanshen company. Variants in known monogenic diabetes
genes, called by either SAMtools or GATK, were filtered to retain only protein-altering
variants (non-synonymous, frameshift, in-frame insertions/deletions, canonical
splicing), and exclude variants with a minor allele frequency (MAF) >0.0001 for
missense, or >0.001 for truncating, in any population in three public databases (1000
genomes, ExAc and Exome Variant Server). For recessive WFS1, the MAF threshold
was 0.005. All results reported here were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Variants
were evaluated by five pathogenicity-prediction algorithms (Table 1) and classified by
the revised ACMG/AMP (American College of Medical Genetics and
Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology) guidelines (13). For comparison,
exome data from 866 unselected Han Chinese subjects, similarly sequenced for reasons
other than diabetes, were also annotated.
To detect copy-number variants (CNV), we searched for extended genomic regions
with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in exome variants. Coverage (read counts) of exons
Page 7 of 40 Diabetes

in LOH regions were then compared between the patient with LOH vs. all other subjects.
Identification of mitochondrial mutations
The 113 aAb-neg patients whose DNA sample was unsuitable for WES were checked
for mitochondrial polymorphism. Briefly, total DNA was used as template to amplify
a target sequence of mitochodridal DNA (m2966-m3346) containing known Chinese
mutations. PCR used were: Forward: TCAACAATAGGGTTTACGAC and Reverse:
AGGAATGCCATTGCGATTAG, followed by Sanger sequencing.
Statistical analysis
Given the known limitations of pathogenicity-prediction algorithms, we generated
additional support for the variants discovered, and estimates of the false discovery
rate, by comparing our findings with 866 non-diabetic Han Chinese.
First, we compared the prevalence of all variants meeting the filtering criteria between
our cases and the control exomes by the Fischer exact test for each gene separately.
In addition, we estimated the proportion of our positive findings that might be due to
background variant frequency in the population, by applying the expected proportion
(Pexp), of carriers among the 866 controls to our 82 cases and comparing with the
observed proportion (Pobs) (Table S2).
Our cases and the control exomes were sequenced by very similar workflows and at the
same depth. To confirm similar variant yield per individual, we compared yields for
Page 8 of 40Diabetes
8
synonymous variants. To also confirm identity of genetic background, we compared
the two groups on the first two components of principal component analysis of
synonymous variants.
Data and Resource Availability
The datasets generated and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the

Results:
27.4% of Chinese T1Dclin were antibody negative
By radioimmunoassay, 53.7%, 40.7% and 33.8% of the patients were positive,
respectively, for GADA, ZnT8A, and IA-2A. Negativity for all three RIA was 27.4%
(Fig.S1).
Monogenic diabetes in 22% of Chinese autoantibody-negative T1Dclin patients
We had genomic DNA suitable for WES from 82 of these autoantibody negative
patients. Among these 82 exomes, the yield of synonymous variants per patient per
gene was not significantly different from that of the 866 Chinese controls (mean + SEM
was 0.72+0.26 vs. 0.82+0.32, p=0.81). Principal component (PCA) analysis, based on
the exome variants, showed complete overlap of the two population samples (Fig S2).
Of our 82 cases, 18 cases (22.0%, CI95 = 14.6%-32.0%) had variants likely to represent
disease-causing mutations (Table 1), a percentage several-fold higher than that reported
with European ancestry cohorts defined by similar, though not identical criteria (7; 14)).
All were predicted to be pathogenic by three or more of the five algorithms. Variants
Page 9 of 40 Diabetes

in 6 patients met ACMG-AMP (13) criteria for very strong (PVS1) and another four for
strong (PS3 or PS4) evidence of pathogenicity. All 18 had, at the very least, moderate
pathogenicity evidence (PM2). It is important to note that these ratings rely on features
other than computational prediction of pathogenicity and, therefore, they constitute
completely independent evidence. Three additional patients, not counted here, narrowly
missed our pre-determined MAF cut-off (Table S3) but also likely have monogenic
diabetes.
The most common gene mutated was HNF1A (MODY3) with 6/18 patients. Two
mutations were null and one was absent from all databases. All were either truncating
or rated deleterious/disease causing by four or all five of the five algorithms (Table 1).
Some were previously reported with MODY3 (Table S4). Among the 866 controls,
there were only two patients with HNF1A variants meeting the same predetermined
criteria. Thus, Pobs, = 7.3% (CI95 3.9 – 14.4%) of autoantibody negative T1Dclin
Chinese patients have HNF1A mutations. Pexp, derived from the controls, was 0.2%
(CI95 0.08 - 0.4%) with p=6.5x10-6, false discovery q= 0.03.
Somewhat surprisingly, almost as common as MODY3 were diallelic variants of WFS1,
recessively mutated in Wolfram syndrome (WS), in 4 cases not reported to have any
other syndromic features and initially recruited for the T1D GWAS. One was
homozygous and, in another two cases, the two variants were close enough to be
confirmed in trans, by alignment inspection (Fig.S3). All of these variants were rated
deleterious by at least 4 of the 5 algorithms and two have been previously reported in
cases of fully expressed WS (Table S4). Only one of the 866 controls had two missense
mutations, both predicted benign by all 5 algorithms. For 4/82 vs. 0/866, Pobs = 4.9%
(CI95 2.4% - 11.1%) vs. Pexp= 0% (CI95 0 – 0.6%) p = 6.5x10-6, false discovery q=0.
Thus, by our best estimate, 5% of autoantibody negative Chinese T1Dclin cases have
Page 10 of 40Diabetes
10
non-syndromic diabetes due to WFS1 mutations.
One patient was thoroughly examined and found to be normal by fundoscopic eye exam,
audiogram and urine density (Fig.S4), confirming the reported absence of other WS
manifestations (optic nerve atrophy, hearing loss and diabetes insipidus) in that case.
The remaining six patients were mutated in other MODY genes (Table 1) but the
numbers were too small for statistics (Table S2). Two patients had mutations in KLF11
(MODY7) and PAX4 (MODY9), OMIM genes whose role in monogenic diabetes
remains unconfirmed. Only one KLF11 mutation met pathogenicity prediction criteria,
vs. two controls (p=0.25), not providing support for this gene. NEUROD1 is better
established as the cause of MODY6(15) and supported by our finding of a mutation in
one patient (deleterious by all 5 algorithms) vs. 0/866 in the controls. Other well-
established genes found mutated were HNF1B, ABCC8, GCK (each in two patients )
and INS (one patient).
Both HNF1B mutations were complete gene deletions within the known recurrent
microdeletion at 17q22, reported to account for as many as 50% of MODY5 cases (16).
The two patients had LOH over at least 1.4 Mb that encompassed HNF1B among 28
genes (Fig. 1, top). Over the LOH region in each patient, each of 178 exons had
approximately half the read counts of the average of all other patients (Fig.1 bottom),
p=7.5x10-15 and 1x10-16 for patient 17 and 18 respectively. Adjacent to the deletion,
there were no shared haplotypes, indicating independent occurrence in two different
ancestral chromosomes.
Fasting C-peptide, available in 56/82 patients, varied widely and was no different
between patients with or without a mutation (mean 249.5 vs. 280.5, p=0.6699). (Fig.
S5A).
Page 11 of 40 Diabetes

For the 82 patients (37 females), the median age at diagnosis was 20, (range 1 to 61
years). Patients with mutations were younger, with median age at diagnosis 13.5 vs.
23.2 (p=0.0297) (Fig. S5B).
In a parallel study, 126 T1Dclin, autoantibody negative patients, including 44 whose
DNA sample was unsuitable for WES, were tested for mitochondrial DNA mutations
by Sanger sequencing. Four had the m.3243A>G mutation and two the m.3316A>G,
both previously reported in Chinese diabetes patients (17; 18). Heteroplasmy, estimated
from the sequencing peaks, ranged from 6.2% to 50.4% (Table S5), well within the
described range (19).
The distribution of genetic causes of 18 confirmed cases of monogenic diabetes and 6
cases of mitochondrial diabetes are shown in Supplementary Figure 6.
Discussion
With 27.4% of Chinese T1Dclin being autoantibody negative, and 22.0% of them
having monogenic diabetes, our best estimate for the overall prevalence of
monogenic diabetes in patients diagnosed as T1D is 6%, considerably higher than the
approximately 1% reported in comparable childhood cohorts of European decent (6; 7).
In the UK, 3.6% was reported among patients chosen for preserved C-peptide (8), a
very different population from our T1Dclin cases. Our results show that C-peptide
cannot distinguish monogenic cases presenting with a clinical picture leading to the
diagnosis of T1D.
This percentage is even higher if we add the mitochondrial cases. Such high incidence
is not surprising, given that the denominator (autoimmune T1D) is much less common
Page 12 of 40Diabetes
12
in EA. These findings make a strong argument for universal autoantibody testing of all
Chinese (and, arguably, Korean and Japanese) T1Dclin patients with sequencing of the
autoantibody negative cases. Studies similar to ours in European-ancestry patients may
also reveal monogenic diabetes rates substantially higher than currently reported, if
diallelic WFS1 mutants are included. Despite the low yield and high cost, the benefit
to individual patients may well justify the expense, as most of these monogenic diabetes
cases are amenable to alternative treatments.
Our other important finding is the high prevalence of non-syndromic WFS1 cases,
much more common than Wolfram syndrome and comparable to that reported in
consanguineous families in Lebanon (11), in a non-consangineous population. Non-
syndromic diabetes has also been reported with homozygosity for a non-synonymous
variant frequently found in Ashkenazi Jews (20) but it is clearly not confined to that
variant. The therapeutic implications of this diagnostic reassignment remain to be
seen, but successful use of incretin interventions has been reported (21; 22). It should
definitely be included in all monogenic diabetes panels.
We expect that these preliminary findings will stimulate much larger studies in various
populations, to better define the prevalence of monogenic diabetes in agnostic searches.
Despite the limitations of our study, including small sample size (counterbalanced by
the large effect size and highly significant results) and lack of detailed phenotype data
(a convenience sample collected for a different purpose), we propose that our findings
will apply to the vast majority of T1Dclin cases and justify serious consideration of
agnostic screening of all cases diagnosed as T1D in East Asians.

Figure 1. Demonstration of the 17q22 microdeletion that encompasses HNF1B in patient 18.
Top: LOH. A plot of the proportion of reads for one of the two alleles calculated as B/(A+B), where A and B are the read counts for each allele (by the Illumina convention, the non-Reference nucleotide is called A if it is A or T, otherwise B). Homozygotes cluster around 0 or 1, heterozygotes around 0.5. Complete LOH can be seen over 1.4 Mb. Only positions with at least one non-Reference allele are shown (all others are homozygous Reference).
Bottom: Copy number over the LOH region in each patient was estimated by comparing read counts at each exon (normalized as counts per million) to the average of all other patients. Divided by that average, intact DNA clusters around 1, heterozygous deletion around 0.5. To harmonize with the conventional display from microarray data, the ratio is plotted as base 2 log (intact DNA is 0, heterozygous deletion is -1). Only exons with 50 or more mapped reads are included. A heterozygous deletion is clearly demonstrated over the LOH, p= 10-16 by paired t-test comparing each exon to the average of all other patients.
