Maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to PDX1 mutation in a sib‐pair diabetes family from Qatar.

Maturity‐onset diabetes of young (MODY) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that causes insulin deficiency without autoimmunity. We present the first family with pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1) mutation causing diabetes from Qatar. Routine genetic screening of all antibody‐negative diabetic patients with diabetes should be offered to avoid misdiagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
