Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-alpha gene cause maturity onset diabetes of the young 3 (MODY 3). Here we describe a new family affected by this disorder carrying the so far unknown mutation Pro224Ser in exon 3. First we identified a 17-year-old patient. OGTT demonstrated that insulin secretion was severely impaired: basal insulin was 3.7 uU/ml and 60 min after an oral glucose load plasma insulin...
