The hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β gene (HNF1B) is responsible for maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), which is characterized by early-onset diabetes mellitus and urogenital malformations. HNF1B is expressed during visceral endoderm formation. We identified a disruption of the great pancreatic artery in a patient with MODY5 with no pancreatic body or tail. Our finding supports the significance of HNF1B in the development of the pancreas.
肝细胞核因子1β基因(HNF1B)与青年发病的成年型糖尿病5型(MODY5)有关,其特征为早发性糖尿病和泌尿生殖系统畸形。HNF1B在内脏内胚层形成过程中表达。我们在一名无胰体或胰尾的MODY5患者中发现了胰大动脉中断。我们的发现支持了HNF1B在胰腺发育中的重要性。
