Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in the alternatively spliced HNF4A gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). We characterized the spatial and developmental expression patterns of HNF4A transcripts in human tissues and investigated their role as potential moderators of the MODY phenotype. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We measured the expression of HNF4A isoforms in human adult tissues and gestationally staged...
