Abstract:
A case of neonatal diabetes mellitus is described. The child presented with low birth weight but was normal in appearance. She was acidotic and ketonuria was observed. The HLA typing was DR1 and 3, and insulin autoantibodies were negative. Genetic analysis with polymorphic DNA markers for chromosome 6 indicated biparental inheritance. She required insulin therapy for the control of hyperglycemia, and insulin dependence continues after 8 months of age.
