  • Title: The molecular basis and clinical characteristics of Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD), a recently recognized diabetic subtype.
    Author: Maassen JA, Jansen JJ, Kadowaki T, van den Ouweland JM, 't Hart LM, Lemkes HH.
    Journal: Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes; 1996; 104(3):205-11. PubMed ID: 8817237.
    Abstract:
    Diabetes mellitus comprises a number of diseases with hyperglycemia as hallmark. Currently, multiple genetic factors are being recognized which contribute to the development of diabetes or which may modulate its clinical expression. This review presents an overview of our current knowledge on a diabetic subtype which associates with a single mutation in mitochondrial DNA. Based on the triad of Maternal Inheritance, Diabetes and Deafness we propose the name Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD) for this syndrome. In Northwestern Europe MIDD affects approximately 1.3% of all diabetic individuals.
