NCT ID NCT00342927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This large study is looking at the genes of over 9,000 people with diabetes and kidney disease, along with their family members. The goal is to find which genes make some people more likely to get diabetic kidney disease. By understanding the genetic roots, researchers hope to develop better treatments and prevention strategies in the future.

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 could point toward new ways to prevent or treat diabetic kidney disease by identifying key genes involved.
What could go wrong
This is an observational genetic study, not a treatment trial. It may take years to translate findings into real therapies, and the results may not apply to all ethnic groups.
