Chronic Mild Hyperglycemia in GCK-MODY Patients Does Not Increase Carotid Intima-Media Thickness [PDF]
Aim. GCK-MODY is an autosomal dominant form of diabetes caused by heterozygous mutations in the glucokinase gene leading to a lifelong mild hyperglycemia. The risk of macrovascular complications is considered low, but studies are limited.

Low prevalence of GCK gene mutations in Chinese patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Accumulating evidence suggests maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) caused by GCK gene mutations (GCK-MODY) is often misdiagnosed as Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women.

MODY2 is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene that result in persistent, stable and mild fasting hyperglycaemia (5.6–8.0 mmol/L, glycosylated haemoglobin range of 5.6–7.3%).

Glucokinase links Kruppel-like factor 6 to the regulation of hepatic insulin sensitivity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
The polymorphism, KLF6-IVS1-27A, in the Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) transcription factor gene enhances its splicing into antagonistic isoforms and is associated with delayed histological progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

An evolving spectrum of diabetes in a woman with GCK-MODY [PDF]
Summary Coexistence of autoimmune diabetes and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is rare. We report the first case of coexisting latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood (LADA) and glucokinase (GCK) MODY. A 32-year-old woman was treated with insulin for gestational diabetes at age 32 years; post-partum, her fasting blood ...

DataSheet1_GCK exonic mutations induce abnormal biochemical activities and result in GCK-MODY.docx
Objective: Glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY; MODY2) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene.

Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by a progressive deterioration of β‐cell function with a continuous decline in insulin secretion. Glucokinase (GCK) facilitates the rate‐limiting step of glycolysis in pancreatic β‐cells, to acquire the ...

Glucose levels in mammals are tightly controlled through multiple mechanisms to meet systemic energy demands. Downregulation of hepatic glucokinase (GCK) during fasting facilitates the transition of the liver from a glucose-consuming to a gluconeogenic ...
