ALL children could one day be screened for type 1 diabetes risk to tackle the condition at an early age. A trial of blood checks on 20,000 kids aged three to 13 begins today to test the waters for …
Autoantibodies can be spotted in the blood years before diabetes develops, but kids with two or more types are almost certain to get it later in life.
type 1 diabetes, which is incurable, leaves the body unable to control blood sugar levels and patients must inject insulin to manage it., which can send patients into a coma or kill them. Dr Lauren Quinn, from the University of Birmingham, said: “Screening children can reduce their risk of DKA around five-fold and can help them and their families settle into the type 1 diagnosis better.”

A haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the Nile rat facilitates exploration of the genetic basis of diabetes - BMC BiologyBackground The Nile rat (Avicanthis niloticus) is an important animal model because of its robust diurnal rhythm, a cone-rich retina, and a propensity to develop diet-induced diabetes without chemical or genetic modifications. A closer similarity to humans in these aspects, compared to the widely used Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus models, holds the promise of better translation of research findings to the clinic. Results We report a 2.5 Gb, chromosome-level reference genome assembly with fully resolved parental haplotypes, generated with the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). The assembly is highly contiguous, with contig N50 of 11.1 Mb, scaffold N50 of 83 Mb, and 95.2% of the sequence assigned to chromosomes. We used a novel workflow to identify 3613 segmental duplications and quantify duplicated genes. Comparative analyses revealed unique genomic features of the Nile rat, including some that affect genes associated with type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunctions. We discuss 14 genes that are heterozygous in the Nile rat or highly diverged from the house mouse. Conclusions Our findings reflect the exceptional level of genomic resolution present in this assembly, which will greatly expand the potential of the Nile rat as a model organism.
