Most<unk>  of type<unk>  diabetes involved many genes contributing small amount to the overall condition. As of<unk> 011 more than 36 genes have been found that contribute to the risk of type<unk>  diabetes. All of these genes together still only account for 10% of the total genetic component of the disease. There are a number of rare<unk>  of diabetes that arise due to an abnormality in a single gene (known as monogenic forms of diabetes). These include maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), Donohue syndrome, and Rabson–Mendenhall syndrome, among others. Maturity onset diabetes of the young constitute 1–5% of all<unk>  of diabetes in young people.
