Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare inherited form of diabetes. It is caused by a change in a single gene. This means it can run strongly in families. MODY is different from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is often diagnosed before the age of 25, but it can be found later in life too. Getting the right diagnosis matters because treatment depends on the type of MODY.
