Cell Rep. 2021 Apr 13;35(2):108981. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.108981. PMID: 33852861.Mutations in the promotor region of the insulin gene are associated with a subtype of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). These mutations lead to abnormal transcription of the insulin gene and do so by deleting the C1 and E1 cis regulatory elements, or three different single base-pair substitutions in ...

Diabetologia. 2020;63(12):2605–2615. doi: 10.1007/s00125-020-05276-4.Diabetes diagnosed at <6 months of age is often of monogenic origin. However, 10-15% of affected infants do not have a pathogenic variant in one of the 26 known neonatal diabetes genes. In this study, 166 infants diagnosed at <6 months of age without such pathogenic variants showed all the the classic feat...
