Abstract excerpt
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous disorder that appears to be characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion. Mutations in an unknown locus (MODY1) on chromosome 20 and the glucokinase gene (MODY2) on chromosome 7 can cause this form of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Recent genetic studies have identified a third locus on chromosome 12 (MODY3) that is linked to MODY in a...
