Diabetes. 2022;71:1591-1596. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35499624/Brief Summary: This cross-sectional study compared trends in plasma C-peptide decline in 4,076 young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with trends in beta-cell loss in 235 pancreas donors. As expected, C-peptide declined over time, and this was particularly marked in children with T1D younger than 7 years. Of interest, p...

Brief summary: In this multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized trial, 97 adolescents (aged 10–16.9 years) were randomized within 21 days after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) to receive either hybrid closed-loop therapy or standard insulin therapy (control) for 24 months. Although closed-loop therapy was associated with better glycemic outcomes, there were no differences in C-peptide between the two groups.The Closed Loop from Ons...

PMID: 33795686.The authors describe 5 patients with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous (CFC) syndrome with features of septo−optic dysplasia (SOD), and GH/IGF−1 deficiency of variable degree. All were identified to carry a gain−of−function mutation in BRAF.RASopathies encompass Noonan ...
