Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-beta (HNF1B) gene result in a very variable presentation, including maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), renal cysts, renal dysplasia, and autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD), which is characterized by tubular damage, renal fibrosis, and progressive renal dysfunction. Here, HNF1B is linked to maturity-onset diabetes of the young.
