A correct genetic diagnosis can affect treatment and clinical outcome. Mutations in the insulin gene (INS) itself have been identified as a cause of neonatal diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the genetic variations in the coding region and intronic boundaries of INS gene and their genotype phenotype correlation in a group of Egyptian PNDM infants with onset in the first 12 months of age. Conclusion: Genetic screening for the INS gene did not reveal any evident role in diagnosis of PNDM among the studied group of Egyptian children UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
