What a fantastic few days. First the @congenitalhi @CHCharityUK conference where we learnt so much from the families living with #HI. Then #ESPE2024 where we met colleagues, planned new research and showcased the team’s work @JonnaMannisto @DrPamBowman1 @JJ_Hopkins_

Our follow-up paper establishing non-coding cis-regulatory variants in HK1 cause #congenitalhyperinsulinism with variable disease severity is now available for download on Lancet preprints https://t.co/AIESBkIX36. A few spoilers in the thread below (1/4) @SSRN @HIgenes

#DUKPC is ending with a bang as we hear from @angusgjones, giving the RD Lawrence lecture. The majority of #T1D is diagnosed in adults. But misdiagnosis is all too common ➡️incorrect treatment & a misunderstanding of adult onset type 1. Dr Jones wants to rewrite the story.

As #SGGDExeter2024 comes to an end, @MassGeneralNews rising star @miriam_udler closes the meeting by sharing her views on whether partitioned polygenic scores can illuminate the heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes, inform mechanism and potentially influence diagnosis and management.

All set up and ready to welcome over 190 delegates to Exeter. Looking forward to three days of talks and discussions on the genetics of diabetes (and hyperinsulinism!). The sun has even made an appearance for us. #SGGDExeter2024

Landmark study led by @DrElisaDeFranco & @nickdlowens shows ZNF808 loss causes human pancreatic agenesis. This is the 1st congenital disease caused by loss of a primate-specific gene and highlights that conservation isn't always a useful marker of disease causality @doctorveera

Born without a pancreas, Tania helped our team discover a new gene finding sheds light on human development and could help the search for a type 1 #diabetes cure. The gene is essential for the human pancreas, yet not present in most other animals. https://t.co/pnI09J3TZK
