TNDM is most frequently caused by abnormalities in the imprinted region of chromosome 6q24.Case Report: A 18-day-old male was referred from another clinic due to diabetic ketoaci...

Background: Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is a rare form of diabetes mellitus that presents within the first 6 months of life with remission in infancy or early childhood.
