A role for coding functional variants in HNF4A in type 2 diabetes susceptibility.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Rare mutations in the gene HNF4A, encoding the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF-4A), account for ~5% of cases of MODY and more frequent variants in this gene may be involved in multifactorial forms of diabetes. Two low-frequency, non-synonymous variants in HNF...
