Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1A gene cause the type 3 form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3). This study was undertaken to determine mutations and sequence variations of the HNF-1A gene in Chinese with familial early-onset and/or multiplex diabetes mellitus. METHODS: We screened all ten exons of the HNF-1A gene, including exon/intron junctions, by direct sequencing in 272...
