Could your baby's first week change the future of Type 1 Diabetes?

The INGR1D2 study is free, optional, and no extra tests are needed - the study uses a small amount of blood from the routine heel prick test most babies already have at around 6 days old.

You can find out your baby's genetic risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes, and help researchers work towards a world without this lifelong condition. You can sign up during pregnancy or within 6 days of birth. Babies identified at higher risk will have the chance to join further prevention research.

To find out more about the INGR1D2 study and to sign up, visit: https://sites.google.com/nihr.ac.uk/ingr1d2/home or contact cuh.rosieresearch@nhs.net

🧬Genomic study helps detect baby’s rare growth condition

Doctors at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are “thrilled” by a baby’s positive response to treatment after her rare genetic condition was diagnosed following results from a national screening study.

"With the help of the Generation Study we have a clear genetic diagnosis for Safi. It has made it much easier for us to identify the right treatment and to get her started on it sooner. If all goes well, her life should be unaffected by her condition." said Dr Emile Hendriks, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist at CUH.

Children admitted to a NICU as newborns are more than twice as likely to struggle with their school readiness assessment at age five and these early hurdles can affect them well into adulthood.

A new study at the Rosie and two other hospitals in the region aims to understand which children may face challenges and explore ways to better support them and their families. It's led by University of Cambridge
