autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance

Gene mutations have high penetrance but are uncommon

Genetic heterogeneity contributes to clinical heterogeneity

Summary: approach to patient < 25yrs with newly diagnosed diabetes

Is it Type 1 diabetes?-if not, could it be:

A genetic subtype – more likely if not overweight and strong family history of diabetes

Type 2 diabetes-more likely if both parents have T2DM and /or patient is markedly overweight
