2 families with 36 individuals with AD inheritance of diabetes mellitus or insulinomatosis (adult-onset recurrent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia caused by multiple insulin-secreting neuroendocrine tumours of pancreas). WES identified the same missense MAFA mutation (p.Ser64Phe, c.191C>T) segregating with both phenotypes of insulinomatosis and diabetes in both families. The p.Ser64Phe mutation was found to impair phosphorylation within the transactivation domain of MAFA and profoundly increased MAFA protein stability under both high and low glucose concentrations in β-cell lines. In addition, the transactivation potential of p.Ser64Phe MAFA in β-cell lines was enhanced compared with wild-type MAFA. The human phenotypes associated with the p.Ser64Phe MAFA missense mutation reflect both the oncogenic capacity of MAFA and its key role in islet β-cell activity.
