Study family genetics in type 1 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic patterns in families where someone has type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition). It may help researchers understand why type 1 diabetes happens and who is at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you join as a family: at least one parent, child, or sibling has type 1 diabetes
- The person with type 1 diabetes in the family was diagnosed before age 39
- You (or your child) must be at least 2 years old to participate
- Your family must have type 1 diabetes history (not only type 2, MODY, or LADA)
- If joining as a control (non-family): you and your family have no type 1 diabetes and no autoimmune disease

This study looks for people at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes (based on family history or blood markers) and follows them over time to understand disease development. The goal is to eventually prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in people who don't have it yet.
This study looks at immune system cells and gene activity in infants and young children to understand what causes type 1 diabetes to start so early. It may help researchers find earlier warning signs and better ways to support families right at diagnosis.
This study looks at genetic factors in people recently diagnosed with diabetes to understand what might predict who needs insulin treatment. Researchers will analyze blood samples and medical information to see if genetic testing could help doctors predict your treatment path.
This study screens close family members of people with type 1 diabetes for early signs of the condition. A simple blood test looks for special markers (autoantibodies) that can show if the immune system is starting to attack the pancreas. Finding these markers early may help doctors prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
This study screens brothers, sisters, and children of people with type 1 diabetes to find early signs of the disease before symptoms appear. The goal is to catch it early and offer monitoring or future prevention options.
This study is designed to help identify and monitor people at high risk for type 1 diabetes. It involves education and regular check-ups to better understand and manage the condition.
