Measles: how many hospitalised cases are we missing?
We aimed to determine whether the Victorian measles surveillance system had missed hospitalised cases of measles during an inter-epidemic period. We searched the Victorian Inpatient Minimum Dataset (VIMD) for the period 1 January 1997 to 30 June 1998 to identify patients with ICD-9 discharge codes for measles (055). The data were compared with that held in the Victorian measles surveillance dat...
متن کاملGCK gene mutations are a common cause of childhood‐onset MODY (maturity‐onset diabetes of the young) in Turkey
OBJECTIVE Inactivating heterozygous mutations in the GCK gene are a common cause of MODY and result in mild fasting hyperglycaemia, which does not require treatment. We aimed to identify the frequency, clinical and molecular features of GCK mutations in a Turkish paediatric cohort. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Fifty-four unrelated probands were selected based on the following criteria: age of diagnosi...
متن کامل[Mature onset diabetes of the young (MODY)].
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare form of juvenile diabetes mellitus, defined by early onset, absence of ketosis, non-insulin-dependent diabetes and autosomal dominant inheritance. Advances in molecular genetic analysis have identified mutations accounting for different MODY subtypes, all of them associated with defects of insulin secretion. We present a case of a nine year-...
متن کاملClinical features and treatment of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous group of disorders that result in β-cell dysfunction. It is rare, accounting for just 1%-2% of all diabetes. It is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes, as it is often difficult to distinguish MODY from these two forms. However, diagnosis allows appropriate individualized care, depending on the genetic etiology, and allow...
متن کاملPersistent Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia and Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) due to Heterozygous HNF4A Mutations
Objective: Mutations in the human HNF4A gene encoding the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4α) are known to cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), which is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic ß-cells. HNF-4α has a key role in regulating the multiple transcriptional factor networks in the islet. Recen...
