A case of early-onset diabetes with impaired insulin secretion carrying a PAX6 gene Gln135* mutation.

PAX6 Gln135* mutation may be causally associated not only with congenital aniridia but also with diabetes. Blood glucose levels may deserve more attention in cases of congenital aniridia with PAX6 mutations. Our case supports the recent attempt to include PAX6 in the list of MODY genes, and Gln135* may be pathogenic.
