A Novel Hypomorphic PDX1 Mutation Responsible for Permanent Neonatal Diabetes With Subclinical Exocrine Deficiency

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genes responsible for monogenic forms of diabetes have proven very valuable for understanding key mechanisms involved in beta-cell development and function. Genetic study of selected families is a powerful strategy to identify such genes. We studied a consanguineous family with two first cousins affected by neonatal diabetes; their four parents had a common ancestor, suggestive of a fully penetrant...
