Philadelphia, January, 2020--A multi-center team of researchers led by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has discovered a genetic signature that could help distinguish an adult-onset form of diabetes sharing many type 1 diabetes (T1D) characteristics from pediatric-onset T1D, opening the door to potentially more straightforward diagnostic tests for the adult condition and improving responses by ensuring patients receive the most appropriate treatment.

A new method of mapping the genome in 3-D led researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to discover two kinases that play a role in systemic lupus erythematosus, which now are potential treatment targets for the disease.
Congratulations to Minal Çalışkan on winning the Cotterman Award at the 2019 ASHG Meeting for "Genetic and Epigenetic Fine Mapping of Complex Trait Associated Loci in the Human Liver". Delighted to have contributed to the study!
Researchers identified two novel genes that affect bone-formation cells relevant to fractures and osteoporosis; understanding these genes could lead to more effective treatments.
