Type A Insulin Resistance

Background. Mutations in insulin receptor genes can cause severe insulin resistance syndrome. Compared with Rabson-Mendenhall Syndrome and Donohue’s Syndrome, type A insulin resistance syndrome is generally not serious. The main manifestations in woman with type A insulin resistance syndrome are hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovary. Case Presentation. A 13-year-old girl (Han nationality) visited the hospital due to hairiness and acanthosis nigricans. Further examination revealed severe hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, elevated blood glucose, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovary. Analysis of the insulin receptor gene by sequencing showed the presence of a nucleotide change in intron 7 (c. 1610+1G > A). The mutation was a splicing mutation, which can obviously affect the mRNA splicing of the insulin receptor and cause its function loss. The patient was finally diagnosed with type A insulin resistance syndrome. After 2 months of metformin treatment, the patient had spontaneous menstrual cramps and significantly improved acanthosis nigricans and sex hormones. Conclusion. We report for the first time a new splicing mutation on the insulin receptor gene at the 7th intron (c.1610+1G > A), which leads to type A insulin resistance syndrome. In clinically suspected patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, if there are extremely high blood levels of insulin in the blood, genetic testing should be performed to detect insulin receptor gene mutation of type A insulin resistance syndrome.

AbstractBackgroundInherited severe insulin resistance syndromes (SIRS) are rare and can be caused by mutations in the insulin receptor gene (INSR).Case presentationA 12-year-old Jamaican girl with a BMI of 24.4 kg/m2 presented with polyuria and polydipsia. A diagnosis of T1DM was made in view of hyperglycaemia (18 mmol/l), and elevated Hba1C (9.9%), and insulin therapy was initiated. Over the next 2 years, she developed hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans, and had minimal insulin requirements with frequent post-prandial hypoglycaemia. In view of this, and her strong family history suggestive of a dominantly inherited type of diabetes, the diagnosis was revisited. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the patient’s monogenic diabetes genes was performed.What is new?NGS revealed a novel heterozygous missense INSR variant, NM_000208.3:c.3471T>G, p.(His1157Gln), confirming a diagnosis of Type A SIRS.ConclusionsType A SIRS can be difficult to differentially diagnose due to the variable phenotype. Features of insulin resistance may be absent at initial presentation and may develop later during pubertal progress. Awareness of the clinical features and comprehensive genetic testing are essential to identify the condition.
