ZnT8 Loss of Function Mutation Increases Resistance of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Beta Cells to Apoptosis in Low Zinc Condition

The rare SLC30A8 mutation encoding a truncating p.Arg138* variant (R138X) in zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) is associated with a 65% reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. To determine whether ZnT8 is required for beta cell development and function, we derived human pluripotent stem cells carrying the R138X m...
