Novel SIRT1 mutation linked to autoimmune diabetes in humans

Cell Metab. 2013 Mar 5;17(3):311-2. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2013.02.014.

Abstract

Sirtuins are best known for their role in aging but also regulate many different biological processes. A study in this issue of Cell Metabolism (Biason-Lauber et al., 2013) now identifies a mutation in human SIRT1 causing a familial form of autoimmune diabetes.
