Definição de Diabetes
da sua ação a nível dos tecidos, da deficiência da sua secreção ou de ambas. Daí
• The loss of beta cells leads to gradually diminishing insulin produc3on, loss of blood sugar control
and subsequent dependence on exogenous insulin administra3on;
• The risk of type 1 diabetes depends on which family members are affected: 3% if the mother,
5% if the father and 8% if a sibling has type 1 diabetes ;
• Close to 100 gene5c loci have been associated with suscep5bility to type 1 diabetes;
• Varia5ons in the HLA region account for about half of the familial gene5c risk ;
Fatores ambientais
• The incidence of type 1 diabetes has increased by several 5mes over the past 30 years.
• This increase can only be explained by changes in environment or lifestyle. Suppor5ng the impact
of environment or lifestyle on risk, migrants tend to adcquire the same risk of type 1 diabetes as
the popula5on in their new area of residence.
• In Europe, the risk of type 1 diabetes differs substan5ally in people who are gene5cally close but
separated by socioeconomic borders.
• Improved understanding for the environmental determinants of type 1 diabetes could make it
possible to prevent or delay the disease.

Model of the pathogenesis and natural history of type 1
diabetes.
• Is most commonly diagnosed in older adults, but is increasingly seen in children, adolescents and
younger adults due to rising levels of obesity, physical inac4vity and poor diet.
• 40–70% of BMI varia4on is explained by gene4c factors and, similarly, the increase in type 2
diabetes risk associated with having a sibling with type 2 diabetes is two- to threefold .

MODY
• The diagnosis of MODY should be suspected in cases with:
• A family history of diabetes in one parent and first-degree rela?ves of that affected parent in pa?ents
who lack the characteris?cs of type 1 diabetes (no islet autoan?bodies, low or no insulin requirements
more than 5 years aHer diagnosis [s?mulated C-pep?de >200 pmol/L]) and lack the characteris?cs of
type 2 diabetes (marked obesity, acanthosis nigricans).
• Mild stable fas?ng hyperglycemia which does not progress. Such cases should be tested for glucokinase
gene muta?ons (GCK-MODY), which is the commonest cause of persistent, incidental hyperglycemia in
the pediatric popula?on
• Specific features can suggest subtypes of MODY, such as renal developmental disease or renal cysts (HNF1B-
MODY) and macrosomia and/or neonatal hypoglycemia (HNF4A-MODY)
• In familial autosomal dominant symptoma?c diabetes, muta?ons in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α
(HNF1A) gene (HNF1A- MODY) should be considered as the first diagnos?c possibility, while muta?ons in the
glucokinase gene (GCK-MODY) are the most common cause in the absence of symptoms or marked
hyperglycemia.
OUTROS TIPOS DE DIABETES – DEFEITO SECREÇÃO INSULINA
• DNA mitocondrial
• Maternally transmi3ed
• An A-to-G transi6on in the mitochondrial transfer RNA Leu(UUR) gene at base pair 3243
• Associated with sensorineural hearing
• The mitochondrion plays a key role in the regula6on of insulin secre6on, par6cularly in
response to glucose. Abnormal insulin secre6on may be seen in subjects with this
mitochondrial muta6on, even if diabetes has not yet developed and glucose tolerance is
normal or impaired.
