Cell Rep. 2021 Apr 13;35(2):108981. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.108981. PMID: 33852861.Mutations in the promotor region of the insulin gene are associated with a subtype of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). These mutations lead to abnormal transcription of the insulin gene and do so by deleting the C1 and E1 cis regulatory elements, or three different single base-pair substitutions in ...

Lancet Healthy Longevity 2021 10.1016/S2666-7568(21)00086-6.In brief: Using a multivariable Mendelian randomization approach, genetic data on lipoprotein lipid levels and disease outcomes indicated that higher Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels increase the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and T2DM, and shorten longevity. ApoB is emerging as a more sensitive measure of disease r...
