Liver adenoma or hepatocellular carcinoma in MODY type 3
Renal cysts, rudimentary or bicornuate uterus, vaginal aplasia, absence of the vas deferens, epidymal cysts in MODY type 5The diagnosis of MODY is confirmed by specific gene testing available through commercial laboratories. Classification
Common or well-established forms of MODY (1% of MODY or greater) - HNF1A-(MODY3), HNF4A-(MODY1) and GCK-(MODY2), HNF1B-(MODY5), ABCC8-(MODY12), KCNJ11-(MODY13), INS-(MODY10)
Rare forms of MODY (Few families described but reasonable generic evidence for causing MODY) - NEUROD1-(MODY6), IPF1/PDX1-(MODY4), CEL-(MODY8), WSF1 and RFX6
Genes reported as causal for MODY but evidence not compelling - BLK-(MODY11), PAX4-(MODY9) and KLF11-(MODY7), APPL1-(MODY14), NKX6-1

Treatment
In some forms of MODY, standard treatment is appropriate, though exceptions occur:

In MODY2, oral agents are relatively ineffective, however most patients are managed conservatively through diet and exercise. In MODY1 and MODY3, sulfonylureas are usually very effective, delaying the need for insulin treatment. Sulfonylureas are effective in the KATP channel forms of neonatal-onset diabetes. The mouse model of MODY diabetes suggested that the reduced clearance of sulfonylureas stands behind their therapeutic success in human MODY patients, but Urbanova et al. found that human MODY patients respond differently to the mouse model and that there was no consistent decrease in the clearance of sulfonylureas in randomly selected HNF1A-MODY and HNF4A-MODY patients.Chronic hyperglycemia due to any cause can eventually cause blood vessel damage and the microvascular complications of diabetes.
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) refers to any of several hereditary forms of diabetes mellitus caused by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene disrupting insulin production. MODY is often referred to as monogenic diabetes to distinguish it from the more common types of diabetes (especially type 1 and type 2), which involve more complex combinations of causes involving multiple genes and environmental factors. MODY 2 and MODY 3 are the most common forms.Robert Tattersall and Stefan Fajans initially identified the phenomenon known as maturity onset diabetes of the young in a classic study published in the journal Diabetes in 1975. Signs and symptoms
MODY is the final diagnosis in 1%–2% of people initially diagnosed with diabetes. The prevalence is 70–110 per million people. 50% of first-degree relatives will inherit the same mutation, giving them a greater than 95% lifetime risk of developing MODY themselves. For this reason, correct diagnosis of this condition is important. Typically patients present with a strong family history of diabetes (any type) and the onset of symptoms is in the second to fifth decade. There are two general types of clinical presentation. Some forms of MODY produce significant hyperglycemia and the typical signs and symptoms of diabetes: increased thirst and urination (polydipsia and polyuria). In contrast, many people with MODY have no signs or symptoms and are diagnosed either by accident, when a high glucose is discovered during testing for other reasons, or screening of relatives of a person discovered to have diabetes.
