ABSTRACT
We investigated 212 patients attending 3 diabetic clinics centres in Lagos; Nigeria; and recorded family history; age of onset of diabetes; and body mass index. Analysis of family pedigrees showed that 3of sibships followed an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. The mean age of diabetes onset among the dominant group was 25 years and obesity was uncommon. This suggests that these patients may have Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY)
