Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is one of monogenic diabetes caused by a single gene defect. To date, 13 MODY genes have been identified. However, there is big discrepancy in genetic locus between the Asian MODY patients and Caucasian’s one.Objective and hypotheses: We conducted the whole exome sequencing in Korean clinical MODY families to identify novel variants for MODY and compare the result with Caucasian’s one....
