Clinical implications of a molecular genetic classification of monogenic beta-cell diabetes.

Abstract excerpt

Monogenic diabetes resulting from mutations that primarily reduce beta-cell function accounts for 1-2% of diabetes cases, although it is often misdiagnosed as either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Knowledge of the genetic etiology of diabetes enables more-appropriate treatment, better prediction of disease progression, screening of family members and genetic counseling. We propose that the old clinical...
