The use of hsCRP as a clinical screening tool for MODY has been first investigated in a British study, that showed patients with HNF1A-MODY to have significantly lower hsCRP levels when compared to autoimmune diabetes (both type 1 diabetes and LADA), young-onset type 2 diabetes, GCK-MODY, and non-diabetic individuals, even after correction for BMI and use of medications that could potentially lower hsCRP (aspirin and statins). The gene discussed is GCK; the disease is MODY.
