  Background Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY 2) is a specific form of MODY that is distinguished by persistent hyperglycemia without any associated vascular complications. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical findings of six patients with MODY 2. Case presentation We conducted a study involving six caucasian children, consisting of five boys (with disease onset of 7, 9, 5, 15, and 6 years old, respectively) and a 2-year-old girl. All of the mutations observed were missense mutations. Among the patients, two had the same mutation (c.G1130A). Additionally, we identified a new heterozygous mutation in the GCK gene, specifically a G to A transition at nucleotide 1342 (exon 10, c.G1342A). One patient exhibited insulin resistance and tested positive for auto-antibodies against ICA and GAD. At the time of diagnosis.. Read More»
