Abstract

Thirty-two Brazilian families with MODY phenotype were screened for GCK and HNF1A mutations. GCK mutations were found in 8 families, all patients with mild asymptomatic hyperglycaemia; 3 of them are novel: p.Asp365Asn, p.Gly81Asp and p.Val253Leu. Previously described mutations in HNF1A were found in 2 families. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU)
