Disease_model_descriptionThe engineered C. elegans mdh-2 (cer10[His56Cys]) allele is equivalent to a human MDH2 Arg52Cys patient mutation and serves as a model for familial hyperglycemia; these mutant worms showed a striking increase in baseline DAF-28 secretion, along with a blunted ability to further increase this in response to glucose stimulation. In addition, mdh-2 mutant animals also exhibited a higher prevalence of glucose-induced egg retention with internal hatching events (Bag-of-worms phenotype).
