It's #WorldDiabetesDay 💙and our world-leading #diabetes researchers Andrew Hattersley and Maggie Shepherd 💙 have released the 1st episode of their new podcast series about diabetes and genes, One in Six Billion. 📻Listen to Jack's story here: 1in6b.com

Loads of exciting opportunities to work with us in rare disease genomics - come and join ExeterGenomes Exeter Rare Disease Exeter Med School University of Exeter in lovely Devon! See sites.exeter.ac.uk/rarediseasegen…. DM me if you'd like to discuss.

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. news.exeter.ac.uk

Landmark study led by @DrElisaDeFranco & 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 

📢 Exciting News! Registration is now OPEN for the 9th Study Group of the Genetics of Diabetes (SGGD) meeting 🗓️ Join us from April 17-19, 2024, in the beautiful city of Exeter. Explore the program and secure your early bird rate here: tinyurl.com/7np6n5x7 #ExeterSGGD24

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

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

Andrew Hattersley kicks off #SGGDExeter2024!!

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). 1/4

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

Great #SGGDExeter2024 , charming Exeter!

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.

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

#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.

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 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. A few spoilers in the thread below (1/4) SSRN @HIgenes

What a fantastic few days. First the CHI Children's Hyperinsulinism Charity UK & Ireland 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 Jonna Männistö Pamela Bowman Jasmin Hopkins
