Popis: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a group of disorders accounting for 2–5% of diabetes; MODY2 is caused by inactivating GCK mutations. We report a case of MODY2 caused by a novel GCK mutation and demonstrate differential glycemic/C-peptide responses to treatment with insulin, no medication, and an oral sulfonylurea.
