Scientists find new genetic causes for diabetes in babies
DNA
University of Exeter Apr 9 2026 Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies – in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes of disease in 'coding' genes – those that produce proteins. Now, academics at the University of Exeter and their international collaborators have found that DNA changes in two genes that instead make functional RNA molecules are a cause of diabetes. RNA plays
