Overview

Two case reports detail diabetes management challenges in patients with SLC29A3 mutations, indicating the need for endocrinologist awareness.

Key Points

  • This research aims to describe unique cases of diabetes associated with the SLC29A3 mutation in H syndrome.
  • Presented two cases of H syndrome with diabetes, one newly diagnosed and one for follow-up.
  • Conducted whole-exome sequencing to identify mutations and clarify diagnosis.
  • Monitored glycemic control and treatment responses in both patients.
  • First case, a 6-year-old girl, required high insulin doses for poor glycemic control during hospitalization.
  • Second case, a 21-year-old male, had diabetes for four years before skin symptoms appeared; treatment had limited impact.
  • Diabetes severity in H syndrome shows variability, complicating management strategies.
