Some patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus possess a mitochondrial mutation in the tRNA Leu(UUR) gene at position 3243 bp. These subjects show a maternal mode of inheritance and often have hearing defects. In French and Japanese populations, this mutation may be present in 1
