title: A case of new mutation in maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY 3) responsive to a low dose of sulphonylurea.
abstract: We describe a girl aged 10.5 years with hyperglycemia, whose mother and maternal father had insulin treated diabetes since adolescence. Using genetic analysis in mother and child, we identified identical new mutation of the HNF-1alpha sequence. Treatment with small doses of sulphonylurea was initiated and that therapy gave good results.
