Diabetes- MODY Maturity-onset diabetes
Diabetes is a condition that affects individuals of all ages and is rising quickly as a result of changing lifestyles. However there is an uncommon type of diabetes that affects young adults under the age of 25; it is inherited and can even strike those who lead reasonably healthy lives and are not obese. Due to a single gene mutation MODY also known as Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young affects just 1-4 percent of all diabetes cases.
Description:
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a group of inherited disorders of non-autoimmune diabetes mellitus which usually present in adolescence or young adulthood.Up to 5% of all diabetes cases may be due to MODY. Any of several hereditary forms of diabetes mellitus brought on by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene that impair insulin production are referred to as maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). MODY is one of the conditions known as monogenic diabetes along with neonatal diabetes. All forms of MODY are caused by changes to a single gene (monogenic) whereas the more common types of diabetes (especially type 1 and type 2) involve more complex combinations of causes involving multiple genes and environmental factors.
Cause:
MODY is caused by a change or mutation in one of your genes. This is distinct from type 1 and type 2 diabetes which are caused by a combination of genes and other factors such as obesity. MODY causes a genetic change that prevents your pancreas from producing enough insulin a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
Symptom:
The symptoms of MODY vary depending on which of your genes is affected. Some people may not experience any symptoms at all. However the disease typically manifests itself gradually. You could have high blood sugar for years before noticing any of these warning signs: Thirsty or hungry more frequently Peeing more frequently. Blurry vision. Skin or yeast infections Weight loss. Fatigue
