Novel deletion mutation in the glucokinase gene from a korean man with GCK-MODY phenotype and situs inversus.

A novel mutation in intron 9-exon 10 boundary of the GCK gene was detected in a male patient with clinical features of GCK-MODY and situs inversus. This case highlights the value of sequencing the GCK gene in individuals with GCK-MODY phenotype and no family history of monogenic diabetes.
