Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 in a family with diabetes and mild kidney disease diagnosed by whole exome sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Exome sequencing is being increasingly used to identify disease-associated gene mutations. We used whole exome sequencing to determine the genetic basis of a syndrome of diabetes and renal disease affecting a mother and her son. We identified a mutation in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-b (HNF1B) gene that encoded a methionine to valine amino acid change (M160V) in the HNF1B protein. This leads us to the...
