In a recent report, researchers in Israel conducted a study "to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of heterozygotes of the glucokinase gene mutations G264S and IVS8+2 in the extended pedigree of two patients with permanent neonatal diabetes as a result of glucokinase deficiency (IVS8+2 homozygosity and IVS8+2/G264S compound heterozygosity).
