Monogenic diabetes
Monogenic diabetes caused due to mutations in a single gene. Monogenic diabetes is usually passed on in an autosomal dominant gene, a sex independent gene thats inherited from one of the parents. There is usually a strong family history of diabetes and in multiple generations, although its possible for someone to have a spontaneous mutation.
MODY -Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, most commonly caused by mutations in the HNF1A gene or the GCK gene
Neonatal diabetes, most often caused by a mutation in any one of three genes KCNJ11, ABCC8 or INS.
Diagnosis therefore involves genetic testing for these diabetes-causing gene mutations that disrupt insulin production.
