WebMD Highlights CHOP Study of Genes for Type 1 Diabetes

WebMD published an article last week about new CHOP research on genes associated with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Hakon Hakonarson, director of CHOP’s Center for Applied Genomics, co-led this study, the largest-ever analysis of genetic data related to this common metabolic disorder. The study appears in the journal PLoS Genetics. A greater understanding of the genetic and biological origins of diabetes could eventually lead to new treatments.
