Excerpt

To the Editor: Recently, Shields and colleagues used cases ascertained from diagnostic genetic-testing referrals to estimate a minimum population prevalence for monogenic beta cell disorders (i.e. MODY) in the UK population [1]. They estimated a minimum prevalence of 108 cases of MODY per million, with half due to mutations in HNF1A-MODY. The study included all cases of MODY diagnosed through the UK testing laboratory over a 12 year period, but had the limitations of not being community-based and only included individuals who had been referred for molecular testing through secondary care. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
