Mutations in the SLC29A3 gene are not a common cause of isolated autoantibody negative type 1 diabetes

Abstract

We have shown that SLC29A3 is expressed in the human islet and recessive mutations are likely to result in beta cell failure, however mutations in this gene are not a common cause of isolated autoantibody negative diabetes diagnosed in children under 17 years.
