Heterozygous mutations in the genes encoding transcription factors (HNF-1alpha, HNF-1beta and HNF-4alpha) in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) network are associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). We screened HNF-6 gene for mutations in 34 Japanese subjects with MODY/early-onset diabetes mellitus and 56 subjects with late-onset diabetes mellitus. One single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at...
