Scientists say they have made a breakthrough on possible treatments for diabetes and pancreatic problems.
Researchers at the University of Exeter Medical School and Imperial College London used new technology to analyse genomes ? containing hereditary information ? to find the cause of some diseases.
They found that pancreatic agenesis ? which results in babies being born without a pancreas, leaving them with a lifetime of diabetes and problems digesting food ? is most commonly caused by mutations in a newly identified part of the genome.
