Abstract excerpt
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) is characterized by impaired insulin secretion. Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha are the cause of MODY3. Transgenic mice overexpressing dominant-negative HNF-1alpha mutant in pancreatic beta-cells and HNF-1alpha knockout mice are animal models of MODY3. These mice exhibit defective glucose-stimulated insulin...
