Page Changed: MODY It's Not Type 1 or Type 2 but Something Else
ADDED:
People with MODY-3 have been found to have very low Cardiac Specific C-Reactive Protein. (hs-CRP) with the mean of 0.20 mg/l and a range of 0.03 to 1.14 mg/l. This may actually be a cheap and effective screening test for this specific form of MODY as it appears to identify 80% of people with diabetes who actually have MODY. Hs-CRP in people with MODY 2, however, is very close to that of people with regular Type 2 diabetes.
