#DUKPC is ending with a bang as we hear from Angus Jones, 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.

Had an awesome time at #SGGDExeter2024 this week. Thanks, Mike Weedon, Sarah Flanagan, Andrew Hattersley, and team for organizing a great meeting! Greatly enjoyed seeing so many great people and learning with all of the fantastic talks!

As #SGGDExeter2024 comes to an end, MassGeneral News 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.

Great #SGGDExeter2024 , charming Exeter!

“I understand how tough it can be living with type 1 and this motivates me to work towards a cure”

Fabulous presentation by Prof Sarah Richardson as part of Diabetes UK’s symposium on The T1D Grand Challenge in London. Truly exciting prospects! #ExeterDiabetes Sarah Richardson Exeter Med School

Another fascinating talk at #SGGDExeter2024 : new MGH Research Scholar Melina Claussnitzer, Ph.D. presents her group's work correlating genetic variants & polygenic scores to molecular processes underlying metabolic disease, shedding light on mechanisms of insulin resistance Mass General Brigham

In my presentation today at the 9th  #SGGD2024 meeting in Exeter, I demonstrate how the inclusion of African genomic resources improve the power and equitability of Generic risk score (GRS) and their underpinning Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS).

Andrew Hattersley kicks off #SGGDExeter2024 !!

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

Very honoured to recieve this award from Dr.V.Mohan MDRF. Privileged to visit Dr Mohan’s outstanding comprehensive clinical service offered to people living with diabetes - the best I have seen anywhere in the world. Very humbling to see how much you have achieved diabetesgenes

Join us in Exeter next April 17-19 for a diabetes and obesity genetics conference. A great set of speakers will be talking about gene discovery, variant to function, genetic risk scores, clinical translation, and much more. See the program: tinyurl.com/7np6n5x7 #ExeterSGGD24

Landmark study led by Elisa De Franco & Nick Owens 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 Veera Rajagopal 

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.
