We expect that this paper will help clinicians interpret MODY genetics results with greater confidence. Discrepancies in certain middle-eastern countries need to be investigated as other genes or factors, like consanguinity may be involved in developing diabetes (BMC Endocrine Disorders)

Treatment Options for MODY Patients: A Systematic Review of Literature
Our aim is to provide the reader with an easy-to-read update that can be used to drive the clinician’s therapeutical approach to these patients after the molecular diagnosis (Diabetes Therapy)
Update on clinical screening of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
The selection of diabetic patients for genetic testing is an ongoing challenge. Metabolic profiling, diabetes onset age, pancreatic antibodies, and C-peptide seem to be useful tools to better select patients for genetic testing (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Successful maintenance on sulfonylurea therapy and low diabetes complication rates in a HNF1A–MODY cohort
This study demonstrates that the majority of patients with HNF1A–MODY can be maintained successfully on sulfonylurea therapy with good glycaemic control. We note a significantly lower rate of micro- and macrovascular complications than reported previously (Diabetic Medicine)
Postprandial incretin and islet hormone responses and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 enzymatic activity in patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young
The pathophysiology of HNF1A-diabetes includes exaggerated postprandial glucagon responses and increased fasting DPP-4 enzymatic activity, but normal postprandial incretin responses in both patients with GCK-diabetes and HNF1A-diabetes (European Journal of Endocrinology)
Urinary C-Peptide/Creatinine Ratio Can Distinguish Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young from Type 1 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents
We showed that the UCPCR and fasting C-peptide levels in children and adolescents can distinguish patients with MODY from patients with T1DM with high specificity and sensitivity (Hormone Research in Paediatrics)
