Abstract
Improving uptake of genetic testing by defining who should be tested is an area of active research. A population based study found that 6.5% of children who have negative beta-cell antibodies at diagnosis have rare functional variants in MODY genes. Defining the high risk groups in adults with diabetes is more difficult, but online decision aids will assist clinicians in selecting who to refer for testing.
