Deletion of RFX6 impairs iPSC-derived islet organoid development and survival, with no impact on PDX1+/NKX6.1+ progenitors
30 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Homozygous mutations in RFX6 lead to neonatal diabetes accompanied by a hypoplastic pancreas, whereas heterozygous mutations cause MODY. Recent studies have also shown RFX6 variants to be linked with type 2 diabetes. Despite RFX6's known function in islet development, its specific role in diabetes pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we aimed to understand the mechanisms underlying the impairment...
