Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of routinely available parameters in screening for GCK maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), leveraging data from two large cohorts - one of patients with GCK-MODY and the other of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Materials And Methods: The study included 2,687 patients with T1D, 202 patients with clinical features of MODY but without associated genetic variants (NoVar), and 100 patients with GCK-MODY (GCK). Area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) analyses were used to assess the performance of each parameter - both alone and incorporated into regression models - in discriminating between groups.
