Six Brazilian families with mild familial hyperglycaemia have been screened for glucokinase (GCK) mutations. All had mutations that co-segregated with the phenotype. One of the mutations, the deletion 96_98delAAG (p.Lys32del), had not been previously described, reinforcing the worldwide prevalence of GCK MODY and widespread existence of undetected new mutations.
