BACKGROUND: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is caused by autosomal dominant mutations in one of 13 confirmed genes. Estimates of MODY prevalence vary widely, as genetic screening is usually restricted based on clinical features, even in population studies. We aimed to determine prevalence of MODY variants in a large and unselected pediatric diabetes cohort. METHODS: MODY variants were assessed using...
