Abstract excerpt
We analyzed 84 Japanese patients with juvenile-onset (before 18 years of age) non-obese diabetes mellitus (DM) for mutations in the genes for HNF-1alpha, HNF-4alpha and HNF-1beta. In HNF-1alpha, previously reported mutations (R271W and R272C) and one novel sequence variant (at nucleotide -129/-130 insTTGGGG of the promoter region) were identified in three different patients. In vitro functional study of the new...
