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 diabetes—the first new genetic cause of this subtype described in over a decade. This work expands our understanding of beta cell development.
