🧬 Happy National DNA Day! 🧬
Today we’re celebrating the science that helps unlock answers for the congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) community. Genetics plays a vital role in understanding HI—guiding diagnosis, shaping treatment decisions, and driving research toward better outcomes.
In honor of , we’re sharing the latest blog post by CHI Associate Director of Research Kristen Rohli, PhD, on why genetics matters and how advances in genetic research are impacting individuals and families affected by HI.
"When people share genetic reports, diagnostic information, and updates about their health, researchers gain a much clearer picture of what HI looks like across the community. Each data point helps identify patterns, ask better questions, and design better ways to diagnose and treat HI in the future.
Today, in honor of DNA Day, we encourage you to take a small but meaningful step. Consider joining the HI Global Registry (higlobalregistry.org) or logging back in, uploading a genetic report if you have one, completing or updating the Diagnosis survey, or completing another survey to share how you or your child is doing today. Progress in genetics happens one shared experience at a time."
