Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Paired box 4 (PAX4) mutations cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 9 (MODY9). The molecular defect and alteration of PAX4 function associated with the mutation PAX4 IVS7-1G>A in a family with MODY9 and severe diabetic complications were studied. METHODS: We investigated the functional consequences of PAX4 IVS7-1G>A on mRNA splicing using minigene assays. Wild-type and mutant PAX4 were expressed...
