Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations in the transcription factors hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha and -1beta result in MODY (maturity-onset diabetes of the young). Despite structural similarity between HNF-1alpha and -1beta, HNF-1beta mutation carriers have hyperinsulinemia, whereas HNF-1alpha mutation carriers have normal or reduced insulin concentrations. We examined whether HNF-1beta mutation carriers are insulin...
