Three Factors Distinguish MODY, a Rare Diabetes, in Youth

 Identifying maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in pediatric populations close to diabetes diagnosis is difficult. Misdiagnosis and unnecessary insulin treatment are common. MODY is a monogenic, dominantly inherited form of diabetes that typically arises in adolescence or young adulthood, and accounts for 1%-4% of cases of pediatric diabetes. More...
