Single gene testing is undertaken when children present with the characteristic clinical features suggestive of the underlying aetiology. We aim to assess the utility of comprehensive genetic testing for all monogenic diabetes genes in children with diabetes and any non-autoimmune extra-pancreatic features from a population with a high rate of consanguinity.<p class="abstext...
