High prevalence of maturity-onset diabetes of the young in the Czech Republic: A 25-year nationwide registry-based study.

Key Points

To evaluate the national prevalence of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in the Czech Republic over 25 years.
Conducted a nationwide registry-based study of diabetes cases over 25 years.
Identified subtypes of glucose tolerance disorders among undetected cases.
Analyzed prevalence rates and possible undiagnosed cases.
One of the highest national prevalence rates of MODY recorded to date.
Approximately 50% of the expected MODY cases remain undetected.
Diverse subtypes of glucose tolerance disorders were identified in the negative group.

Abstract

This study provides one of the highest national prevalence rates of MODY to date. Nevertheless, approximately half of the expected cases remain undetected. The negative group included several different subtypes of glucose tolerance disorders, which should guide future research into the pathogenesis of different types of diabetes.
