Identification and functional characterisation of novel glucokinase mutations causing maturity-onset diabetes of the young in Slovakia.

Identification and functional characterisation of novel glucokinase mutations causing maturity-onset diabetes of the young in Slovakia.

Heterozygous glucokinase (GCK) mutations cause a subtype of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY). Over 600 GCK mutations have been reported of which ∼65% are missense.
