A fascinating gene detective work by @flanagan_se and team uncovers large deletions disrupting FOXA2 as the genetic cause of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI). Here the authors identify five HI patients with overlapping heterozygous large deletion CNVs. Interestingly, the causal…

Thank you to the over💯 people who have supported our crowdfunding!! Now we need everybody's help to get to 200 and keep offering this vital service to help babies with diabetes! Please donate and share 🧬🧪 exeter.hubbub.net/p/diabetes/

The University of Exeter is aiming to raise £50,000, which will be matched by a donor, to run the genetic testing programme for 500 children with neonatal diabetes. bbc.in/3xS9m6c



Great opportunity to become part of our team at Exeter

Exciting opportunity to work with us in the beautiful South West as a #bioinformatics #postdoc on the #genetics of #autoimmune #diabetes, as part of #ExeterDiabetes team - apply by 22/03/2020 👉tinyurl.com/tzt4n7g @diabetesgenes @UoE_Jobs @athattersley @ExeterMed @flanagan_se

Thought we couldn't use SNP-genotyping data in @uk_biobank to evaluate penetrance of rare pathogenic variants? Think again... biorxiv.org/content/early/…

h this is a good idea; like anti-particles, the predicted result will be annihilation, with a puff of guff?

Can we not just pit the sugar pill quacks against the anti-sugar quacks and let them destroy each other?
