Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young Identified Among Algerian Probands with Early-Onset Diabetes.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of variants within selected maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)-genes among Algerian patients initially diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet presenting with a MODY-like phenotype.

Methods: Eight unrelated patients with early-onset diabetes (before 30 years) and six relatives with diabetes were examined by targeted re-sequencing for variants in genes known to be involved in MODY (). Clinical data for probands were retrieved from hospital records.
