Frequency and spectrum of glucokinase mutations in an adult Maltese population

ConclusionsThe frequency ofGCK-diabetes is approximately 2% in non-obese Maltese adults with diabetes or prediabetes. This study broadens the mutational spectrum ofGCK and highlights clinical features that could be useful in discriminatingGCK-DM from type 2 DM or prediabetes. It reinforces the need for increased molecular testing in young adults with diabetes having a suspected monogenic aetiology.
