Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor - 1 beta (HNF-1 beta) gene cause maturity onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY 5). A clinical feature of the resulting phenotype besides impaired glucose tolerance is a variety of renal abnormalities, ranging from renal cysts to end-stage renal failure. Using a candidate gene approach we investigated the prevalence of mutations in the HNF-1 beta gene in a group of 63...
