	'''MODY 6''' or '''Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 6''' is a form of [[diabetes]] that is often diagnosed in adolescence or early adulthood. However, MODY 6 can sometimes be diagnosed in older adults as well. It is caused by mutations in the [[NEUROD1]] gene.		'''MODY 6''' or '''Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 6''' is a form of [[diabetes]] that is often diagnosed in adolescence or early adulthood. However, MODY 6 can sometimes be diagnosed in older adults as well. It is caused by mutations in the [[NEUROD1]] gene.

	== Causes ==		== Causes ==

	MODY 6 is caused by mutations in the NEUROD1 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the development of certain nerve cells, including those that control insulin production in the [[pancreas]]. Mutations in the NEUROD1 gene disrupt the normal development of these cells, leading to a decrease in insulin production and the development of diabetes.

	The symptoms of MODY 6 are similar to those of other forms of diabetes. They include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, blurred vision, and weight loss.

	Diagnosis of MODY 6 involves genetic testing to identify mutations in the NEUROD1 gene.
