Peer review on what had been accomplished in this article?
editOverall: This is highly informative article with high quality cited sources.
Lead: The article's introduction summarizes most major points but misses a few important aspects like differential diagnosis of hyperglycemia, and the approach to diagnose.
Organization: Clear organization of headings and subheadings; appropriate transitions. But, some terms were hard for general population to understand and need to be defined, especially genetic and immunology-related terms such as autoimmunity and gene over-expression.
Content: The article covers information relevant to the assigned topic; links to relevant articles for background. Most of the references are updated and of a high quality.
Balance: There were over-presentation of mechanism part. I recommend to name it a pathophysiology section and specify a separate heading for, and I can see it would be much better if they wrote a subsection on the mechanism of the pancreas and insulin in regulating blood glucose rather than presenting many details on genetic background. Also I recommend to add a new heading called differential diagnosis of hyperglycemia in neonates and edit the diagnosis section mentioning the suitable approach for diagnosing NDM from history, physical exam, and finally the labs and genetic testing. You know good approach, more specific differentials, and a suitable provisional diagnosis.
References: A few statements at the end of some paragraphs have unclear sourcing. Most sources are the best available and are appropriate for the discipline/genre.
