โฆ Synopsis
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a form of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus characterised by an early age of onset and an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Only a proportion of cases are due to mutations in the glucokinase gene. We have studied five Caucasian MODY families, including the first MODY family to be described, with five candidate genes implicated in regulation of insulin secretion. The affected subjects showed more marked hyperglycaemia than that found in subjects with glucokinase mutations. We assessed polymorphic markers close to the genes for glucokinase, hexokinase II, adenosine deaminase, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide receptor, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. Linkage analysis with diabetes gave cumulative log of the odds (LOD) scores of less than -3, implying that mutations in these genes are unlikely to provide a major genetic contribution to this form of MODY.

The association between DNA insertion sequences located near the insulin gene and the dominantly inherited maturity-onset diabetes of young people was studied in a large family. The distribution of the restriction fragments was compatible with Mendelian segregation. However, no linkage was found bet
The maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), an autosomal dominant form of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), is caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GK, MODY 2) and in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (MODY 3) and 4 (MODY1) genes. We have screened the glucokinase gene by the pol

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone derived from the preproglucagon molecule that is secreted by intestinal L cells and stimulates insulin secretion from beta cells. The GLP-1 receptor is a candidate gene for diabetes mellitus, as mutations may induce the impaired insulin response that is a
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a genetically heterogeneous form of type 2 diabetes that is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, onset in early adulthood and a primary defect in insulin secretion. Mutations in at least six genes have been shown to underlie MODY, including
