In the most recent assessment of patients with new adult-onset diabetes in Scandinavia, Ahlqvist and colleagues used phenotypic information to define five subgroups of diabetes: an autoimmune form (capturing type 1 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in the adult), two severe forms (severe insulin-deficient [SIDD] and severe insulin-resistant diabetes [SIRD]), and two mild forms (obesity- and age-related diabetes) [4]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is obesity disorder.
