Abstract excerpt
Background: Glucokinase (GCK) plays a central role in glucose regulation. The heterozygous mutations of GCK can cause a monogenic form of diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) directly. In our study, we aimed to explore the mechanism of the novel mutation GCK p.Ala259Thr leading to glucokinase deficiency and hyperglycemia. Methods: Thirty early-onset diabetes pedigrees were referred to whole exome...
