Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus occurs in growth-retarded infants, has an incidence of 1 in 400000 live births and has been associated with both paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 and paternal duplications of 6q. We analysed samples from our cohort of patients with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus for uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 using polymorphic microsatellite repeat analysis. We report here the fifth case of paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 associated with classic transient neonatal diabetes mellitus and estimate that uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 accounts for approximately one fifth of cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus.
