A low renal threshold for glucose in diabetic patients with a mutation in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α) gene
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
One form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young, Type 3 (MODY3), results from mutations in the gene coding for hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha), a transcription factor first described in the liver. MODY3 is characterized by a defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Earlier observations of glycosuria with normal blood glucose levels in some MODY families suggest an additional renal...
