Mutations in the human genes encoding the transcription factors of the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)1 and HNF4 families: functional and pathological consequences

Abstract: Mutations in the human genes encoding the tissue-specific transcription factors hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)1 , HNF1 and HNF4 are responsible for maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), a monogenic dominant inherited form of diabetes mellitus characterized by defective insulin secretion of the pancreatic -cells. In addition, the mutated HNF1 gene causes defective development of the kidney and genital malformation. This review summarizes the main features of these transcription factors and discusses pot… Show more

“…More than 200 exonic SNPs and truncating mutations have been identified in the human HNF1A gene and they are distributed throughout all of the 10 exons (Ryffel, 2001;Winckler et al, 2005;Ellard and Colclough, 2006). The HNF1 protein is composed of three major domains, that is, dimerization domain (encoded by exon 1), DNA-binding domain (encoded by exons 2 to 4) and transactivation domain (exons 6 to 10).…”

“…The HNF1 protein is composed of three major domains, that is, dimerization domain (encoded by exon 1), DNA-binding domain (encoded by exons 2 to 4) and transactivation domain (exons 6 to 10). It has been investigated that the number of variants located in these domains were similar, but the first two had higher numbers of missense mutations and the third had higher numbers of truncation mutations (Ryffel, 2001;Ellard and Colclough, 2006). In addition, the HNF1A gene encodes for three variant isoforms, which are possibly relevant to the relatively high-mutation occurrences in the first six exons (Bellanné -Chantelot et al, 2008).…”
