Abstract excerpt
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic, autosomal dominant subtype of early-onset diabetes mellitus due to defective insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta-cell in humans. Five different genes have been identified including those encoding the tissue-specific transcription factors expressed in pancreatic beta-cells, i.e. HNF-4alpha (MODY1), HNF-1alpha (MODY3), IPF-1 (also known as PDX-1,...
