We are keen to hear from any scientist working within the field of Rare Diabetes. An email and contact number and list of genetic testing and genetic syndromes of interest should be sent to Professor A.T. Hattersley, email: Andrew.Hattersley@pms.ac.uk. When there are more than one international expert in the area it is anticipated that geographically the nearest centre will be used unless the physician expresses a specific preference. All scientists involved with the ISPAD Collection will need to sign a code of practice before they are sent any samples.
