Abstract
Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic autosomal dominant disorder affecting 1-5 % of all patients with diabetes mellitus. In Caucasians, GCK and HNF1A mutations are the most common cause of MODY. Here, we report two family members carrying a genetic variant of both GCK and HNF1A gene and their nine year clinical follow-up. Our report urges physicians to be cautious when variants in two genes are found in a single patient and suggests that collaboration with MODY genetics experts is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment.
