A novel syndrome of diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction and genital malformation associated with a partial deletion of the pseudo-POU domain of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the homeodomain-containing transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1beta are the cause of one form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), type 5 (MODY5). We have studied a Norwegian family, N5, with a syndrome of mild diabetes, progressive non-diabetic renal disease and severe genital malformations.
