Series 3 episode 7. Natalie Raphael and Alice Hughes Testing fetal genetics using mum’s blood in Glucokinase pregnancy
from One in Six Billion · host Andrew Hattersley and Maggie Shepherd
Natalie Raphael was diagnosed as having glucokinase MODY at the end of her first pregnancy. In her second pregnancy she had a recently introduced blood test that showed her fetus had not inherited her change in the glucokinase gene so was at risk of growing large. As a result of this she was given long-acting insulin to lower her glucose. Alice Hughes is the researcher who did the key study that proved the new blood test was both practical and accurate in glucokinase pregnancy.Send a text
