Complete Loss of PAX4 causes Transient Neonatal Diabetes in Humans Gene discovery studies in individuals with diabetes diagnosed within 6 months of life (neonatal diabetes, NDM) can provide unique insights into the de…

Really proud of this Exeter–Stanford collaboration identifying bi-allelic variants in PAX4 as a novel cause of transient neonatal diabetesβ€”the first new genetic cause of this subtype described in over a decade. This work expands our understanding of beta cell development.

MODY is prevalent in later onset diabetes. Really proud to announce the release of a preprint of our paper assessing MODY in people diagnosed with diabetes later in life!!

On the way back to Exeter after a brilliant few days at the @gensocuk.bsky.social Communicating Your Science Workshop. I can't recommend this course enough to any early-career researchers looking to elevate their science communication skills and improve their confidence in public speaking #CYS25

There are fewer than 10 documented genetic causes of Transient Neonatal Diabetes (TNDM) and now PAX4 is one of them! Really proud of this collaborative work done between the Neonatal Diabetes Research Team at Exeter and the Translational Genomics of Diabetes Lab in Stanford.
