Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors discuss dysregulated ER stress in T2DM pathogenesis including new possible treatments targeting protein folding and ER stress pathways with particular focus on pivotal studies of Wolfram syndrome.  The paper flows well and is concise.  I would only suggest to make reference to other human studies, apart from Kondo et al, involving Liraglutide use in Wolfram Syndrome type 1 since has not only been assessed in animal models.
