Objective: To evaluate the genetic mutations prevalent in Indian children with Neonatal diabetes.

Methods: All infants, less than 6 months of age with hyperglycemia requiring insulin were included in the study and their genetic testing were done.

Results: Ten infants with ND were included; there were three females and seven males. The age of presentation ranged from 4 weeks to 28 weeks of age. of all the children tested 5 children were detected with mutations FOXP3, KCJN11, HNF1B, EIF2AK3, INS (Table 1).
