Background and aims: Diabetes currently affects 425 million people worldwide. Pancreatic β-cell failure is central in the development and progression of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes research is slowed by the difficulty to study the diseased tissue, i.e. human islet bcells: these are only available in a few donor organ transplantation centers worldwide. β-cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represent a novel cell source. Cur...

Background and aims: MEHMO is an X-linked syndrome comprising Mental retardation, Epilepsy, Hypogenitalism, Microcephaly and Obesity. It is caused by a damaging p.Ile465Serfs frameshift mutation in EIF2S3 that encodes the &square; subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2), essential for protein synthesis and regulation of the integrated stress response. Patients with this EIF2S3 mutation also have neonatal hypoglycemia, early onset insulin-...

Objective: Neonatal diabetes is caused by single gene mutations reducing pancreatic β-cell number or impairing β-cell function. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of rare diabetes subtypes highlights fundamental biological processes in β-cells. Our aim was to explore the genetic basis of a syndrome characterized by neonatal diabetes, microcephaly and epilepsy.Methods: We performed whole genome sequencing for 2 unrelated patients with ...
