Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: During examining the prevalence of mutations in NeuroD1/BETA2 gene in Chinese early-onset type 2 diabetic probands, a novel missense mutation, Ser159Pro in a potential MODY family was identified. To investigate the role of the mutation in early-onset diabetes, we studied its transcriptional activity on human insulin gene and clinical characteristics of the family with the mutation. METHODS:...
