Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) Gene Panel: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of diabetes that is caused by a genetic mutation. It is often misdiagnosed as Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, but it has unique characteristics that differentiate it from other forms of diabetes. A MODY gene panel is a genetic test that can diagnose MODY. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of a MODY gene panel.

Symptoms of MODY

The symptoms of MODY are similar to other forms of diabetes, but there are some differences. MODY usually develops before the age of 25 and is often diagnosed in adolescents or young adults. The symptoms of MODY include:

• High blood sugar
• Frequent urination
• Increased thirst
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
• Weight loss

Unlike Type 1 diabetes, MODY is not usually associated with autoimmune disorders or the presence of antibodies in the blood. It is also not usually associated with obesity or insulin resistance, which are common in Type 2 diabetes.

Diagnosis of MODY

Diagnosing MODY can be challenging because it is rare and often misdiagnosed as other forms of diabetes. A MODY gene panel is a genetic test that can diagnose MODY. The test analyzes the DNA of the patient to identify any mutations in genes that are associated with MODY. The test is usually done using a blood sample.

The MODY gene panel can identify mutations in several genes, including:

• GCK
• HNF1A
• HNF4A
• PDX1
• INS
• ABCC8
• KCNJ11

If a mutation is identified, it can confirm a diagnosis of MODY. If no mutations are found, further testing may be necessary to rule out other forms of diabetes.

Cost of MODY Gene Panel

The cost of a MODY gene panel in India is approximately INR 20,000. The cost may vary depending on the laboratory and the specific genes included in the panel. It is important to check with the laboratory for specific pricing information.
