MODY syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/419255568

MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young) syndrome is a rare form of diabetes which is different from both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and runs strongly in families. MODY is caused by a mutation (or change) in a single gene. If a parent has this gene mutation, any child they have, has a 50% chance of inheriting it from them.
