	'''MODY 2''' or '''Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 2''' is a form of [[diabetes]] that is often misdiagnosed as [[Type 1 diabetes]] or [[Type 2 diabetes]]. It is a monogenic form of diabetes that is characterized by an early onset, usually before the age of 25, and is non-insulin dependent.		'''MODY 2''' or '''Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 2''' is a form of [[diabetes]] that is often misdiagnosed as [[Type 1 diabetes]] or [[Type 2 diabetes]]. It is a monogenic form of diabetes that is characterized by an early onset, usually before the age of 25, and is non-insulin dependent.

	== Causes ==		== Causes ==

	MODY 2 is caused by mutations in the [[GCK]] gene. This gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called glucokinase, which plays a key role in regulating [[blood sugar]] levels. Mutations in the GCK gene reduce the activity of glucokinase, disrupting the regulation of blood sugar levels and leading to the characteristic features of MODY 2.

	The symptoms of MODY 2 are similar to those of other forms of diabetes, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision. However, people with MODY 2 often have mild, stable, fasting hyperglycemia and do not require insulin treatment.
