To describe the clinical presentation and identify the underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms responsible for transient neonatal diabetes mapped to chromosome 6q24.
Evaluated molecular and epigenetic mechanisms associated with transient neonatal diabetes onset in early infancy and recurrence in later life.
Analyzed candidate imprinted genes and structural chromosomal alterations localized within the 6q24 critical region.
Identified overexpression of the paternally expressed candidate genes ZAC and HYMAI at the 6q24 critical region as the primary genetic basis of disease.
Delineated three underlying causative mechanisms: paternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 6, paternally inherited 6q24 duplication, and methylation defects at the ZAC/HYMAI CpG island.

Implication

Genetic analysis reveals that transient neonatal diabetes stems from 6q24 imprinting abnormalities, highlighting overexpression of paternal genes in early metabolic dysfunction.
