We study the impact of both common and rare genetic variation contributing to different forms of diabetes, as well as the integration of genetics with clinical data from electronic health records. The lab has pioneered the development of partitioned polygenic scores to capture a person's genetic risk for a particular disease mechanism. Trained as a genetic epidemiologist during her MD-PhD, Dr. Udler completed her residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Endocrinology. She is the Director of the MGH Diabetes Genetics Clinic, where she sees patients with atypical forms of diabetes including monogenic diabetes.
