Abstract excerpt
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. Recent advances in molecular genetics have allowed recognition of the genes involved in some subtypes of NIDDM with a well-defined mode of inheritance and a strong association with genetic factors. Thus, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), an autosomal dominant form of NIDDM, was shown to be caused by,...
