Detection and analysis of glucose metabolism‑related genes in childhood diabetes using targeted next‑generation sequencing: In pediatric population‑a hospital‑based study

The aim of the present study was to explore the genetic causes of antibody-negative diabetes and investigate its characteristics. A total of 64 patients with new-onset diabetes (>6 m, <16 y) were identified and their initial clinical characteristics were analyzed. Of which, 32 cases with autoantibody-negative diabetes (male, 16 cases; female, 16 cases) were screened for auto-antibodies, including islet cell antibody, glutamic acid decarboxylase...
