Abstract excerpt
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous subtype of type II diabetes mellitus. To date, five MODY genes have been identified. Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha) gene are associated with MODY3. In the present work, we implemented the HNF-1alpha promoter region in the screening of MODY-suspect patients and identified seven variants not detected in control subjects....
