Maturity-Onset Diabetes Of The Young, Type 9

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because MODY9 is caused by heterozygous mutation in the PAX4 gene (167413).

For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of MODY, see 606391.

Molecular Genetics

Plengvidhya et al. (2007) screened the PAX4 gene in 46 Thai probands with MODY who did not have mutations in known MODY genes and identified heterozygous mutations in 2 probands (167413.0004 and 167413.0005). Neither mutation was found in 344 controls of Thai origin.
