Diagnostic criteria for MODY
Tattersall (QJM 1974)
Early-onset diabetes
Not insulin-dependent
diabetes
Autosomal dominant
inheritance
Caused by a single gene defect
altering beta-cell function,
obesity unusual
Diagnosis of diabetes before 25 yearin at least 1 & ideally 2 family
members
Off insulin treatment or measurable
C-peptide at least 3 (ideally 5) yearsafter diagnosis
Must be diabetes in one parent (2
generations) and ideally a
grandparent or child ( 3 generations

Glucokinase (MODY2)
Rare in hospital diabetic clinics
Incidental hyperglycaemia in children
Common in gestational diabetes
Persistent raised fasting glucose
(5.5-9 mmol/l) from birth
Little rise (< 3mmol/l) in OGTT
No extra-pancreatic features
Not obese (usually)
Often asymptomatic
TEST PARENTS!

HNF1 (MODY3)
Commonest cause of MODYMay be misdiagnosed as type 1
Typically develop 12-30 yr
FPG maybe normal initially
Large rise (>5mmol/l) in OGTTWorsening glycaemia with age
Low renal threshold (glycosuria)
Not obese (usually)

Diagnostic Genetic Testing: why do it?
Makes diagnosis : defines monogenic and definessubtype
Differentiates from type 1
Helps define prognosis Helps family counselling
Helps treatment decisions

Diagnosing MODY: conclusion
Use both diagnostic criteria and clinical informationand non-genetic investigation to suggest a diagnosis
Genetic testing makes diagnosis : defines MODY,
defines subtype helps with counselling, prognosis an
treatment
BUT .Expensive 1-400- - only do if alter
management
Test ordered guided by clinical criteria as to likely
gene. Discuss each case before testing
