Building a database of rare genetic forms of diabetes

This is a registry study — meaning researchers are collecting biological samples and medical information from people with monogenic diabetes, which is a rare form of diabetes caused by changes in a single gene. By gathering data from many patients over time, researchers hope to better understand these genetic forms of diabetes and potentially improve how they're diagnosed and treated in the future.

Monogenic diabetes is rare and often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes, which can delay proper treatment. By creating a large database of genetic information and medical histories, researchers can learn more about these conditions and help doctors identify and care for patients with genetic diabetes more effectively.
