Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the genetic characteristics of MODY 2 diabetes in Siberia. 78 patients with diabetes (33 patients – with1 type, 33 – with 2 types, 12 – with not verified type of diabetes) with the debut of the disease before 25 years of age and family history of diabetes have been examined. 22 patients (2 with previously diagnosed diabetes of type 1 and 8 – type 2, 12 - not verified type of diabetes) with uncharacteristic symptoms of diabetes were performed on the molecular genetic testing of MODY 2 diabetes. 4 mutations of the glucokinase gene have been found and MODY 2 diabetes has been confirmed.
