High prevalence of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) among Indians
V Mohan, A Ramachandran, C Snehalatha, R Mohan, G Bharani and M Viswanathan
This article describes the high prevalence of maturity-onset diabetes in
the young (MODY) in an Indian clinic population of diabetic patients. MODY
appears to be more common among Indians than among Caucasians. Only 27% of
MODY patients had definite autosomal-dominant inheritance. In 73% the mode
of inheritance was not definite. Microvascular complications were common
and macrovascular complications rare. The high prevalence of MODY in this
diabetes clinic might suggest an ethnic variation in diabetes.
