Optimized Diagnosis and Precision Medicine of MODY

Optimized Diagnosis and Precision Medicine of MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young)


Sponsor

Taichung Veterans General Hospital

Enrollment

1,500 participants

Start Date

May 22, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observation is to establish a complete registry for the clinical manifestations, environment, genetic, and other related gene variation information of young-onset diabetic patients. Moreover, according to the physiological and pathological mechanisms of different genes, the impact on the clinical characteristics of diabetes, the therapeutic response to drugs, and the impact on complications will be analyzed. The main questions are: 1. The distribution of different types of MODY 2. The phenotypes and clinical characteristics of different types of MODY 3. Response to antidiabetic drugs among different types of MODY Once the participant is enrolled, their questionnaire information (including disease course and development, health history, family history, drug history, etc.), medication, outpatient/inpatient medical history, etc. will be collected and logged in. Blood and urine samples will also be collected for biochemical tests genetic testing, etc. At the same time, the investigators will conduct a continuous follow-up on a regular basis (3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 5 years after the study subject is enrolled). Young-onset type 2 diabetes will be compared to see the difference in clinical presentations and responses to antidiabetic drugs.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study works to improve the diagnosis and treatment of MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young), a rare inherited form of diabetes that is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Correct diagnosis can change treatment significantly, sometimes allowing people to come off insulin. **You may be eligible if...** - You were diagnosed with diabetes at age 25 or younger, have a BMI of 25 or below, and have at least one parent with type 2 diabetes (Case Group), OR - You are a direct blood relative of someone in the Case Group (Family Group), OR - You were diagnosed with diabetes at or before age 40 and lack typical MODY features (Control Group) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have confirmed type 1 diabetes - You are under 18 years old - You cannot provide your own informed consent - You have undergone cancer treatment (chemo or radiation) in the last 12 months - You have had a blood transfusion in the last 6 months Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
