Profile of monogenic diabetes: a Pan-India study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

In this Pan India study, monogenic diabetes was confirmed in 15.5% of 774 individuals screened using predefined clinical criteria. Genetic testing in carefully phenotyped individuals with youth onset diabetes, could help to detect monogenic diabetes and offer precision treatment.
