A reminder that MODY (and type 1 diabetes) can present in older individuals and must remain in the differential diagnosis for new onset #diabetes across the lifespan diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...

Our new paper “MODY is prevalent in later-onset diabetes and has potential for targeted therapy but is challenging to identify” is out now in Diabetes !!! #diabetes #MODY doi.org/10.2337/db25...

New paper on everyone’s favourite topic, QC! We show why you should do genotype-level QC on your WGS data www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Very real quotes about this paper - “The most exciting, mind-blowing paper of the year!” “On a par with Fisher 1918” “I read it every night. Just so beautiful”

Excited to announce the acceptance and publication of our paper titled “Population prevalence, penetrants, and mortality for genetically confirmed MODY” in JCEM: doi.org/10.1210/clin... #MODY #monogenicdiabetes

Excellent autumnal away-day by the seaside with the Exeter genomics teams, organised by @drghawkes.bsky.social, discussing improvements to our whole genome sequence annotation and burden-testing pipelines - lots more exciting science to come! @exeter.ac.uk @nihrexeterbrc.bsky.social

Congratulations @luke-sharp.bsky.social for receiving the best abstract prize for early career researcher in EASD 2025 for his work on MODY in population.

I’m excited to share the 2 newest Neonatal diabetes genes: RNU4ATAC and RNU6ATAC. These genes encode snRNA components of the minor spliceosome and biallelic variants in them cause monogenic autoimmune diabetes. If you are at #EASD, come to Matt Johnson’s talk Tuesday @4pm in Milan hall to hear more.

Now out in @natmetabolism.nature.com! Excited to share our work showing how common genetic changes shape how diabetes presents in MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young). Our findings highlight the growing overlap between monogenic and polygenic forms of diabetes. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Our paper is now out on Diabetes! diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...

New preprint out now! We show polygenic background shapes GCK-MODY clinical presentation. In >1,000 cases, higher polygenic risk increased the chance of exceeding diagnostic diabetes thresholds, highlighting how monogenic & polygenic factors jointly shape disease. #Genetics

Really proud of this Exeter–Stanford collaboration identifying bi-allelic variants in PAX4 as a novel cause of transient neonatal diabetes—the first new genetic cause of this subtype described in over a decade. This work expands our understanding of beta cell development. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

MODY is prevalent in later onset diabetes. Really proud to announce the release of a preprint of our paper assessing MODY in people diagnosed with diabetes later in life!! #MonogenicDiabetes

Excited to share the preprint of our paper (my first paper!) looking at limited evidence MODY genes. We use rare variant burden testing and one of the largest MODY cohorts to evaluate the pathogenicity of these genes. This evidence can help inform clinical guidelines in MODY genetic testing!
