GCK, HNF1A, and HNF4A together constitute approximately 95% of all known MODY patients. Gene names and preferred treatment for each MODY form are listed according to prevalence. ABCC8, ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member 8; BLK, B lymphocyte kinase; CEL, carboxyl ester lipase; GCK, glucokinase; HNF, hepatocyte nuclear factor; INS, insulin; KCNJ11, potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 11; KLF11, Kruppel-like factor 11; MODY, maturity-onset diabetes of the young; NEUROD1, neurogenic differentiation 1; PAX4, paired box 4; PDX1, pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1.
