What is the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium study?
The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) is
an international group that has formed to confirm
and identify type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes.
Internationally, the T1DGC project aims to collect
DNA samples and has recently turned its focus on
collection of minority Mexican-American and
African-American participants. All health
information collected is confidential and DNA data
will be stored centrally without personal identifiers.
