Title: [Monogenic diabetes: a useful dimension for diabetology practice]. Author: Valéro R, Béliard S, Paquis-Fluckinger V, Vialettes B. Journal: Ann Endocrinol (Paris); 2005 Jun; 66(3):279-83. PubMed ID: 15988391. Abstract: The number of identified monogenic diabetes progressively increases with time even if these forms of diabetes represent less than 5% of the cases. Every monogenic diabetes is characterized by an impairment of Beta cell at various levels. They are good models of diabetes-prone mechanisms. Diabetologists should recognize these forms because the management of the patients could be modified as a function of the genetic anomaly, in terms of either choice of hypoglycaemic agents, prognostic, management of associated manifestations or genetic counselling.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
