The aim of this study was to clarify the genetic background of a family with multiple cases of diabetes accompanied by absolute insulin deficiency using whole-exome sequencing (WES). In a Japanese family, WES was performed in four affected members with absolute insulin deficiency and two unaffected members. I focused on variants that were shared by all of the four affected members. It was revealed that A137T in ADAMTSL3 (rs181914721) was observed more frequently in the subjects with diabetes than in the normoglycemic controls. We propose that A137T in ADAMTSL3 is a candidate mutation for susceptibility to diabetes in this family and in the Japanese population.
