Demystifying Monogenic Diabetes: Practical Tips for Diagnosis
Kash -- Patel, MD, PhD
University of Exeter
Monogenic diabetes is often missed, yet precision diagnosis can transform treatment and outcomes. In this session, we'll equip you with simple, pragmatic strategies to identify the needles in the haystack right in your clinic. We'll review presentation, family history, and standard lab results that should prompt genetic testing. Not all gene panels are created equal, so we'll unpack the genes that really matter and help you advocate for ideal testing. By session's end, you'll have fresh eyes on your patient roster and concrete tools to pinpoint those who will benefit most from a genetics referral. This could change their treatment, prognosis, and entire life trajectory.
