Abstract excerpt
Dysfunction of glucokinase (GCK) caused by mutations in the GCK gene is the main cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type-2 (MODY2, also known as GCK-MODY), which is usually present in adolescence or young adulthood. MODY2 is characterized by mild, stable fasting hyperglycemia that presents at birth, usually 5.4-8.3 mmol L-1 , and rarely develops complications from diabetes. The treatment of MODY2...
