Abstract

BACKGROUND: Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a type of diabetes that results from mutations in 13 known genes that play a role in the development and maturation of pancreatic beta cells. It represents 5% of all individuals diagnosed with diabetes before the age of 45 years and it is misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes in 80% of the cases.
