Prevalence of MODY in Russian population is unknown.Aims and objectives: To compare clinical laboratory characteristics of MODY-GCK and MODY-HNF1a in children and adolescents, to estimate prevalence of MODY.Method: 151 children and adolescents were screened for mutations in GCK and HNF1A. HbA1c, fasting and stimulated gluco...
