Methods Twelve patients with MODY3 and 29 patients with MODY2 were characterized and compared to 26 patients with T1D. These three groups were matched for age and gender. Clinical profiles of the 67 patients were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify the optimal cutoff values of clinical indicators. Results Compared to patients with T1D, subjects with MODY3 had higher fasting C-peptide levels (1.34 ± 1.51 vs. 0.29 ± 0.22 ng/mL; P
