Genetic testing for unusual diabetes types
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses advanced genetic testing to find hidden causes of diabetes that doesn't fit the usual types. It may help people whose diabetes was diagnosed before age 46, who are not overweight, and who have certain unusual features like family history or early complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have diabetes, diagnosed before age 46.
- Your body mass index (BMI) at the time of diagnosis was 35 or less.
- You have tested negative for certain diabetes-related antibodies (GAD65, IA2, ZnT8).
- You have at least one of: pancreatic disease, family history of diabetes, family history of related conditions, unusual physical features or learning problems, early diabetes complications, severe insulin shortage at diagnosis, or need for insulin soon after diagnosis.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and have health insurance in France.

This study looks at people who may have a “non-typical” form of diabetes, including rare genetic causes or unusual symptoms. It may help your care team understand what type of diabetes you have and whether specific genetic testing could explain it.
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 looks at how specific genetic changes affect beta cells, which make insulin. It may help people with rare genetic forms of diabetes or other beta cell disorders, and also needs healthy volunteers for comparison.
This study looks for people with a type of diabetes that runs in families, often diagnosed at a young age. It uses genetic testing to find the exact cause and then tailor treatment to each person.
This trial looks at people who were diagnosed with diabetes before age 25 as either type 1 or “not sure which type.” It may help confirm whether the cause is genetic (monogenic) rather than type 1, which can change treatment choices.
This study uses genetic information from a biobank to find adults who may be at risk for type 1 diabetes before symptoms appear. It may help identify early stages of the disease, so monitoring or prevention can begin sooner.
