Maternal or paternal diabetes and its crucial role in offspring birth weight and mody diagnosis / V. Calcaterra, A. Zanfardino, G.V. Zuccotti, D. Iafusco. - In: METABOLITES. - ISSN 2218-1989. - 10:10(2020 Oct), pp. 387.1-387.4. [10.3390/metabo10100387]
Abstract:
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) represents a heterogenous group of monogenic autosomal dominant diseases, which accounts for 1–2% of all diabetes cases. Pregnancy represents a crucial time to diagnose MODY forms due to the 50% risk of inheritance in offspring of affected subjects and the potential implications on adequate fetal weight. Not only a history of maternal diabetes may affect the birth weight of offspring, paternal diabetes should also be taken into consideration for a correct pathogenetic diagnosis. The crucial role of maternal and paternal diabetes inheritance patterns and the impact of this inherited mutation on birthweight and the MODY diagnosis was discussed.
