Filter by:Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has been a major contributor to health burden in Indonesia and currently its burden still continues to rise. This is a result of increasing DM prevalence in the country as well as high rates of chronic complications from DM. Findings in Indonesia show that there is a high proportion of young people with diabetes, and also a high risk of therapeutic failure and complications from DM occurring in the younger population. Young-onset DM has a wide clinical spectrum, including autoimmune DM, polygenic DM, and monogenic DM such as Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY). Identification and proper diagnosis of young-onset DM spectrum is crucial to treatment outcomes, as certain spectrums, such as some subtypes of MODY, may benefit from cost-efficient alternatives with better outcomes. However, proper diagnosis of young-onset DM in Indonesia is still a great challenge, as currently some examinations, including genetic testing, has not yet been feasibly done in the country. With current advances in genomics, genetic testing may prove to be fundamental in providing optimal and personalized treatment and care for DM patients. This study is a pilot project aimed to initiate genomic research in young-onset DM patients in Indonesia. In the short term, this study aims to identify genetic variants that may be able to increase diagnostic accuracy of the young-onset DM spectrum. In the long term, this study aims to identify new genetic variants of young-onset DM. The study also aims to identify genetic variants associated with risks of chronic complications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to perform a detailed description of the feno- and genotype of people living with type 2 diabetes and severe obesity who are linked to care at Steno Diabetes Center Greenland. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are monogenetic diabetes variants associated with the same risk of developing late diabetic complications as other types of diabetes? - Can genotyping and thereby personalized medicine be implemented in Greenland, and can personalized medicine lead to improved treatment? - What is the prevalence of sleep apnea among high-risk individuals in Greenland? - Is it possible to develop and implement a simple algorithm for the identification of sleep apnea in Greenland that can ensure treatment of severe sleep apnea? Participants will: - Answer WHO-5 and FOSQ-10 questionnaires regarding quality of life and functional outcomes of sleepiness - Perform VAGUS examinations for Cardiovasculare Autonomic Neuropathy - Clinical examination of height, weight, circumference of hip, waist and neck, Friedman tonsil and tongue score, nasal air flow, nasal septal deviation - Blood samples for full genome sequencing
Observational study about usefulness of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in the diagnosis of maturity-onset of the young (MODY) patients.
The goal of this study is to investigate to what extent a 12-week training course for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or MODY can be conducted in a clinical context with clinically relevant improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors and quality of life? The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To investigate the feasibility of supervised training for people with T2DM or MODY in a clinical context in Greenland. 2. To investigate evidence of the effect of combined aerobic and strength training on cardiometabolic risk factors and mental well-being. 3. To investigate the signs of efficacy and different interactions with the type of disease.
Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that affects nearly 1 in 5 people in United Arab Emirates and is one of leading causes of death and disability. The main reason for this condition is either relative or near complete deficiency of essential hormone made by our pancreas called "insulin", which is required to utilize blood sugar (glucose), and insulin shortage leads to increased blood glucose. The common types of this condition include type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (the most common with almost 90% of all diabetes patients having this condition), which is related to mismatch of body requirements and production of essential hormone called insulin (relative deficiency) and type 1 diabetes, in which body's own defense system causes of destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas (near complete deficiency of insulin). However, in younger age group (below the age of 35) there is another type of diabetes which affects nearly 1 out 1000 people and is Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). MODY is a condition passed by parents in 50% of the kids due to an affected single gene and most common forms of MODY do not require any Insulin treatment. However as type 1 Diabetes is generally identified in younger age group, 80% of patient who have MODY cannot be diagnosed and are labelled with other forms of diabetes instead, and may receive unnecessary insulin injections. Although, there has been a lot of research done in the west on prevalence of MODY in white/Caucasian population, the studies in Middle East are minimal. Also, in the white/Caucasian population, a reliable risk calculator has been developed that predicts the risk of having MODY, which if found to be high, is then confirmed by genetic testing for MODY. There is no study available on presence of MODY or on the reliability of the MODY risk calculator among young Emirati population. There is also no data on MODY being misdiagnosed as other forms of diabetes in Emirati population. This study proposal aims to address this gap of knowledge and assess the reliability of MODY calculator in young Emirati patients with diabetes and to see if any MODY patient exist in Diabetes clinics of Tawam hospital Abu Dhabi, who may have been misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2.
Background/Aims: Diabetes, which affects 420 million people worldwide with a continuously rising incidence, is defined by a state of chronic hyperglycemia; a criterion referring to a heterogeneous group of diseases with various etiologies and distinct therapeutic options. Besides the two main forms of diabetes (i.e., type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D)), there are rare subtypes of the disease called monogenic diabetes (or formerly MODY) that are hardly diagnosed because of their resemblance to T1D or T2D. Since these monogenic diabetes may appear early in life, a consortium of expert pediatric clinical centers was created under a clinical research initiative (the GENEPEDIAB study) to develop tools for accurate diagnosis of rare diabetes and to propose appropriate care to these children and adolescents wrongly assigned to T1D or T2D cohorts. The GENEPEDIAB study was initiated in the context of a broader collaborative project (DiaType) with the objective to develop personalized diabetes medicine and better patient care. Methods: For discrimination of patients with monogenic diabetes from those with classical forms of diabetes using the MODY probability calculator, patients enrolled in the GENEPEDIAB study are phenotyped and genotyped for T1D risk (anti-islet antibodies and HLA). Patients fulfilling sufficient criteria are then genotyped using the routine MODY panel, before being proposed a thorough gene analysis. More comprehensive genetic tests will be conducted in patients without anomalies found after the MODY gene-sequencing test. Perspective: the GENEPEDIAB study will enable the investigators to adapt treatment to diabetes etiology and help to provide genetic counseling to patients and their family members. The investigators anticipate that its broad genetic analyses will provide them with important information about the genetic susceptibility of these subgroups of patients with atypical diabetes.
The study aims to identify the number of MODY patients to be found among Emirati women with GDM as the incidence and prevalence of monogenic diabetes among this group of patients is unknown. This will enable improvements in diagnostics, treatment and the counselling of these women.
