Molecular assay reagents intended for use in identifying the presence of the abnormal situation in which both members of the chromosome pair 6 are inherited from the father (i.e., uniparental disomy [UPD]) and the mother\'s chromosome for that pair is missing. Paternally inherited disomy 6 is associated with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus, a rare form of diabetes that usually resolves by 6 months of life. Macroglossia and other anomalies, in addition to the transient diabetes mellitus, are also frequent in individuals with paternal UPD6.
