  Background: Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY), a rare class of diabetes that develops in early adulthood, is thought to have a prevalence of less than 5%. The best practice for the management of the MODY is to identify its type, through genetic testing. This paper presents a case study to identify the genetic etiology of diabetes. Case history: The presented case was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 17 with a strong family history of diabetes. The individual was on insulin (12 units) with high random blood sugar levels (200 mg/dL to 300 mg/ dL) and HbA1c (9.2%). Whole exome sequencing has shown the presence of a known likely pathogenic variant in the HNF1A gene (chr12: 121432062, c.811del, p.Arg271Glyfs), known to cause MODY3. Other unaffected family members were screened for the variant using Sanger s.. View more»
