Brief Title: Characterization of Diabetes Mellitus in Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome
Official Title: Characterization of Diabetes Mellitus in Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome
Study ID: NCT03520153
Brief Summary: The investigators' objective is to understand the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus in Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) by: 1) establishing the contributions of insulin resistance versus impaired insulin secretion, 2) investigating presence of excess glucagon signaling by measuring gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and 3) investigating a potential interaction between diabetes and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).
Detailed Description: Specific project aims include: Aim 1: Determine insulin secretion and sensitivity in subjects with MAS-associated diabetes. Aim 2: Measure gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in MAS-associated diabetes to investigate a potential role for excess glucagon signaling. Aim 3: Determine if IPMN development is associated with impairment of insulin secretion prior to development of overt diabetes. The authors expect that this study will: 1. Establish the etiology of diabetes in FD/MAS 2. Increase understanding of the role of IPMNs in pathogenesis of diabetes 3. Provide critical insights into the pathogenesis of diabetes in FD/MAS
