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.

Who can participate?
Mexican-American or African-American families in
which there is one child with type 1 diabetes. We
would like the participation of the child with
diabetes and both parents.

with type 1 diabetes.
Mexican-American or African-American individuals
without type 1 diabetes and that have no immediate
family members with diabetes.
What do I have to do as a study participant?
Participation involves answering some questions
about your family medical history and giving a
small blood sample. It is not necessary to travel
to Seattle to participate.
