Clinical usefulness of multigene screening with phenotype-driven bioinformatics analysis for the diagnosis of patients with monogenic diabetes or severe insulin resistance

Monogenic diabetes is clinically heterogeneous and differs from common forms of diabetes (type 1 and 2). We aimed to investigate the clinical usefulness of a comprehensive genetic testing system, comprised of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) with phenotype-driven bioinformatics analysis in patients with monogenic diabetes, which uses patient genotypic and phenotypic data to prioritize potentially causal variants.
