Mechanisms of Type 1 Diabetes Endophenotypes

Recruiting
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Genetic Predisposition to Disease
Interventions
Genetic: Genome sequencing
Registration Number
NCT05764850
Lead Sponsor
Pediatric Clinical Research Platform
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study consists of performing cluster analysis to decipher underlying disease mechanisms of type 1 diabetes in children and young adults.

To this end, we will combine clinical, laboratory, genetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic datasets of an extensively phenotyped cohort of children and young adults with type 1 diabetes. We will also assess the risk for cardiovascular diseases in this most vulnerable diabetes cohort.

Cluster analysis to decipher underlying mechanisms of type 1 diabetesblood sampling and analyses

We will combine clinical, laboratory, genetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic datasets of an extensively phenotyped cohort of type 1 diabetes patients (Children and young adults).

We will create clinical and genetic correlates with the following clinical parameters: Age at diabetes onset (years), disease duration (years), BMI (kg/m2), diabetes autoantibodies, C-peptide level (pmol/l) and decline over time, HbA1c (%), insulin dose (U/kg/d), ketoacidosis at disease onset (y/n), lipid levels (Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HLD, LDL, Lipoprotein(a)), macro- and microvascular complications, ethnicity, family history for diabetes, associated autoimmune diseases (e.g., autoimmune thyroiditis or celiac disease) and mixed meal tolerance test.
