Table 2.

Different types of MODY diabetes including the affected gene focus, its localisation, and frequency.

Type of MODY Affected gene Gene localisation Frequency
MODY 1 HNF4A (hepatocyte nuclear factor-4-alpha), hepatic transcription factor Chromosome 20 q13.12 5% of cases
MODY 2: chromosome Glucokinase 7 p13 10–15% of cases, but the commonest subtype of monogenic diabetes in the paediatric diabetes clinic (27)
MODY 3 HNF1A (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-alpha), hepatic transcription factor Chromosome 12 q24.2; With 65% of cases, the most common form of MODY in Europe that results in familial symptomatic diabetes; manifestation occurs in early puberty
MODY 4 PDX1 (pancreas/duodenum homeobox protein-1) Chromosome 13 q12.1 N/a

MODY 7 KLF11 (Krueppel-like factor 11) Chromosome 2 p25 N/a
MODY 8: chromosome 9 q34 CEL (carboxyl ester lipase) Chromosome 9 q34 N/a
MODY 9 PAX4 (paired box gene 4) Chromosome 7 q32 N/a
MODY 10 INS (insulin gene) Chromosome 11 p15.5 N/a
MODY 11 BLK (B-lymphoid tyrosine kinase) Chromosome 8 p23 N/a
PNDM Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus; activating mutations in ABCC8 or KCNJ11 gene Chromosome 11 N/a
TNDM Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus Among others due to imprinting defects on chromosome 6 N/a
