ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To report the long-term (30-month) effect of the switch from insulin to sulfonylurea in a patient carrying the p.G53D (c.158G>A) mutation in KCNJ11 gene. SUBJECT AND

METHOD:

A 29-year-old male patient was diagnosed with diabetes in the third month of life and after identification of a heterozygous p.G53D mutation in the KCNJ11 gene, the therapy was switched from insulin to sulfonylurea.

RESULTS:

Long-term follow-up (30 months) showed that good metabolic control was maintained (HbA1c 6.6 percent) and the glibenclamide dose could be reduced.

CONCLUSION:

Long-term therapy with sulfonylureas in patients with neonatal diabetes due to mutation in the KCNJ11 gene is safe and promotes sustained improvement of glycemic control.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Reportar o efeito a longo prazo (30 meses) da substituição de insulina por sulfonilureia em um paciente com a mutação p.G53D (c.158G>A) no gene KCNJ11. SUJEITO E

MÉTODO:

Paciente do sexo masculino, atualmente com 29 anos de idade, foi diagnosticado com diabetes melito no terceiro mês de vida e, após identificação da mutação p.G53D (c.158G>A) em heterozigose no gene KCNJ11, a terapia foi substituída de insulina para sulfonilureia.

RESULTADOS:

Seguimento a longo prazo (30 meses) mostrou que o bom controle metabólico foi mantido (HbA1c 6,6 por cento) e a dose de glibenclamida pode ser reduzida.

CONCLUSÃO:

A terapia com sulfonilureia a longo prazo em pacientes com diabetes neonatal decorrente de mutações no gene KCNJ11 é segura e promove uma melhora persistente no controle metabólico.
