La diabetes MODY 2 es un tipo de diabetes monogénica producida por una mutación en la enzima glucoquinasa, generando un fenotipo hiperglicémico. Para posibles fines terapéuticos o de diagnóstico, se debe conocer esta proteína, una enzima monomérica de la familia de las hexoquinasas, encargadas de ...
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to identify the frequency of monogenic diabetes, which is poorly studied in multiethnic populations, due to GCK or HNF1A mutations in patients with suggestive clinical characteristics from the Brazilian population, as well as investigate if the MODY probability calculator (M...
We report a 21 years old woman, without offspring, with diabetes mellitus diagnosed at 17 years of age, without ketosis or weight loss. Her body mass index was 18 kg/m2. Her C peptide was normal (2.3 ng/ml) and diabetes mellitus type 1 autoantibodies were negative. A monogenic diabetes Maturity Onset Dia...
Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) refers to a heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes. Unlike other types of MODY characterized by genetic defects in transcription factors, MODY 2 is triggered by metabolic alterations caused by mutations of glucokinase (GCK), the first enzyme of the glycolyti...
La diabetes tipo MODY se produce por alteraciones en genes relacionados con el metabolismo de la célula beta pancreática. El tipo 2 es uno de los más frecuentes y se produce por alteraciones en el gen GCK (glucoquinasa) y el tipo 5 es mucho menos frecuente y se produce por alteraciones en el gen HNF1B...
O diabete melito da maturidade no jovem (DMMJ) é caracterizado pelo seu aparecimento precoce (25 anos) e herança genética autossômica dominante. DMMJ é uma síndrome geneticamente heterogênea, sendo que mutaçöes do gene da enzima glucokinase (GCK) säo a sua causa mais freqüente, na França. Atr...
