NCT ID NCT07468474
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is working to create a system that can identify people at high risk for type 1 diabetes. Researchers will follow 340 people, including patients with type 1 diabetes and their close relatives, for four years. They will collect blood, urine, and stool samples each year to look for genetic markers, autoantibodies, and other clues that might predict who will develop the disease.
