HNF-1beta mutation affects PKD2 and SOCS3 expression causing renal cysts and diabetes in MODY5 kindred.

Conclusions: We demonstrated that this novel HNF-1beta mutation strongly influences the expression of both PKD2, responsible for the formation of the renal cysts, and SOCS3, which is associated with early diabetes onset.
