Diabetologia. 2021 May;64(5):1133-1143. doi: 10.1007/s00125-021-05390-x. PMID: 33558985.In order to gain some insight into the potential mechanism/s of diminished beta cell function over time, this mouse model of CHI was developed with an activating GCK (Glucokinase) mutation. In the short term, the mice developed mild fasting hypoglycaemia (this was very mild with fasting blood glucose...

To read the full abstract: Pediatr Diabetes. 2018 May;19(3):388-392Mutations in FOXP3 are associated with a severe, early-onset, autoimmunity syndrome known in males known as IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked; OMIM [Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man] 304930). The gene maps to chromosome Xp11.23 and encodes a 431–amino acid protein, also named &#8216...
