MODY Diabetes: A Hospital Series of 12 Cases

Introduction Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion. It is a rare form of diabetes caused by autosomal dominant mutations, usually non-autoimmune and non-ketotic [1, 2]. The diagnosis of MODY is often overlooked in resource-limited countries, notably due to the frequent unavailability of genetic testing [3]. This study reports a series of 12 suspected MODY diabetes cases managed at the Endocrinology Department of Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat, aiming to describe their clinical, evolutionary, and diagnostic characteristics.
