In a new large-scale genetic analysis, National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists have found set of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, in human pancreatic cells that are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes.
… islets and diabetes.” The researchers also found genomic variants that are associated with the quantity (or … expression level) of certain microRNAs in the cell. These genomic variants might explain the variation seen in the … of specific microRNAs among different people. One of these genomic variants was found in a genomic region known to be …

Dr. Gahl honored for his leading efforts to diagnose and treat individuals with rare and undiagnosed diseases.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have discovered clues to the possible cause of recurring, non-contagious fevers and sores that affect only children. Several genes have been implicated with the syndrome, known as PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis), which could lead to new treatments.
