The term MODY dates back to 1964, when diabetes mellitus was considered to have two main forms: juvenile-onset and maturity-onset, which roughly corresponded to what we now call type 1 and type 2. MODY was originally applied to any child or young adult who had persistent, asymptomatic hyperglycemia without progression to diabetic ketosis or ...
MODY 6 or NEUROD1-MODY is a form of maturity onset diabetes of the young. MODY 6 arises from mutations of the gene for the transcription factor referred to as neurogenic differentiation 1. The gene is on chromosome 2 in a region of the p arm known as IDDM7 because it includes genes affecting susceptibility to diabetes mellitus type 1 (NeuroD1). [1]
These include maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), Donohue syndrome, and Rabson–Mendenhall syndrome, among others. [1] Maturity onset diabetes of the young constitute 1–5% of all cases of diabetes in young people. [3]
MODY 4 or PDX1-MODY is a form of maturity onset diabetes of the young.. MODY 4 arises from mutations of the PDX1 homeobox gene on chromosome 13.Pdx-1 is a transcription factor vital to the development of the embryonic pancreas.
MODY 2 or GCK-MODY is a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. [1] It is due to any of several mutations in the GCK gene on human chromosome 7 for glucokinase. [2] Glucokinase serves as the glucose sensor for the pancreatic beta cell. Normal glucokinase triggers insulin secretion as the glucose exceeds about 90 mg/dl (5 mM).
The degree of insulin deficiency is variable. Diabetes can develop from infancy through middle adult life, and some family members who carry the gene remain free of diabetes into later adult life. Most of those who develop diabetes show atrophy of the entire pancreas, with mild or subclinical deficiency of exocrine as well as endocrine function.
MODY 3 or HNF1A-MODY is a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young.It is caused by mutations of the HNF1-alpha gene, a homeobox gene on human chromosome 12.This is the most common type of MODY in populations with European ancestry, [1] accounting for about 70% of all cases in Europe.
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited form of diabetes, due to one of several single-gene mutations causing defects in insulin production. [73] It is significantly less common than the three main types, constituting 1–2% of all cases. The name of this disease refers to early hypotheses as to its ...
