Abstract: Maturity onset diabetes of the young is characterized by early onset diabetes inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
ADM is a subtype of MODY that occurs in approximately 10% of African-Americans with youth onset diabetes.
The majority of youth onset diabetes remains type 1; however, the frequency of type 2 diabetes is rising in obese children and adolescents and especially in obese minority youth.

 children with DIABETES - MODY
MODY is often not recognised and people may be treated as Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes by their doctors.
MODY was first described by Tattersall (U.K.) (1, 2) and Fajan (U.S.A.) (2) in 1974, after they had noticed a group of young people with diabetes who were treated without insulin 2 years or more after diagnosis.

 Maturity onset diabetes of the young definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Maturity onset diabetes of the young: Diabetes mellitus that has early onset (usually before the age of 25), is non-insulin-dependent, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
MODY is often considered a subtype of type 2 diabetes but it is unlike the usual type 2 diabetes in that insulin secretion, not the action of insulin, is impaired.
MODY1 is caused by mutation in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-4-alpha gene (HNF4A) on chromosome 20.

 children with DIABETES - Diabetes Dictionary: M
A form of diabetes characterised by early age of onset (usually less than 25 years of age), autosomal dominant inheritance (that is, it is inherited by 50% of a parent's children) with diabetes in at least 2 generations of the patient's family.
MODY diabetes that can often be controlled with meal planning or diabetes pills, at least in the early stages of diabetes.
It differs from type 2 diabetes in that patients have a defect in insulin secretion or glucose metabolism, and are not resistant to insulin.

 Maturity onset diabetes of the young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MODY 1 is due to a loss-of-function mutation in the HNF4α gene on chromosome 20 that codes for transcription factor 14 (TCF14).
MODY 3 is caused by mutations of the HNF1α gene, a homeobox gene on chromosome 12.
MODY 4 arises from mutations of the IPF1 homeobox gene on chromosome 13.

 Familial Clustering of Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
The age-corrected relative risk of type II DM for the offspring of diabetic parents was found to be progressively increasing from a nonconsanguineous diabetic father (22%) or mother (26.5%), to non-consanguineous conjugal diabetic parents (27%) and to the offspring of consanguineous single or conjugal diabetic parents (37.5%).
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) was suspected in 10 probands (5%), and early-onset type II DM in the offspring of conjugal diabetic parents in 16 probands (9%).
Diabetic nephropathy was diagnosed by measuring concentration of urinary albumin (mg/L) and creatinine (g/L) in 24-hour urine and calculating urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (mg/g), in the absence of urinary tract infection.

 NDEP | Diabetes in Children and Adolescents Fact Sheet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not make or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert glucose and other food into energy.
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare form of diabetes in children that is caused by a single gene defect that results in faulty insulin secretion.
MODY is thought to account for 2 to 5 percent of all cases of diabetes and often goes unrecognized.

 eMedicine - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 : Article Excerpt by: William L Isley, MD
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a group of disorders characterized by hyperglycemia and associated with microvascular (ie, retinal, renal, possibly neuropathic), macrovascular (ie, coronary, peripheral vascular), and neuropathic (ie, autonomic, peripheral) complications.
The genetics of type 2 diabetes are complex and not completely understood, but presumably this disease is related to multiple genes (with the exception of maturity-onset diabetes of the young [MODY]).
MODY is associated with autosomal dominant inheritance and is characterized by onset in at least 1 family member younger than 25 years, correction of fasting hyperglycemia without insulin for at least 2 years, and absence of ketosis.

 NIDDM is a heterogeneous disorder composed of subtypes with spectrum of variable inheritance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Among the monogenic forms, maturity onset diabetes of young (MODY) is a disorder of beta cell dysfunction characterised by an early age of onset and an autosomal dominant inheritance.
MODY pedigrees show a phenomenon of anticipation, i.e., a progressive reduction in the age of diagnosis in succeeding generations, probably because of increasing awareness leading to earlier testing.
MODY can be easily distinguished from type 2 diabetes by a prominent family history in three or more generations, a young age at presentation, absence of obesity, and by the absence of the metabolic syndrome (diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypertriglyceridaemia).

Onset: In medicine, the first appearance of the signs or symptoms of an illness as, for example, the onset of rheumatoid arthritis.
For example, in the case of diabetes, there is juvenile-onset diabetes, adult-onset diabetes, and maturity onset diabetes of the young.
Diseases may also be characterized by their speed of onset (and quickness of course) as acute (sudden), subacute (midway between sudden and gradual) or chronic (gradual).
