NCT ID NCT01105858
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at the genetic and molecular factors behind type 2 diabetes, obesity, and related complications like kidney disease. Researchers will collect health information, blood and urine samples, and perform tests like eye exams and ultrasounds from over 2,300 adults, focusing on American Indians and Mexican Americans. The goal is to find genetic variants that increase risk or affect how the disease progresses. The study is currently suspended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify genetic markers that predict diabetes risk or complications, potentially guiding future prevention or treatment strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is currently suspended, so results may be delayed or incomplete. Genetic findings may not lead to immediate clinical applications.
