Funded Activity Summary

Childhood diabetes [both type 1- and young type 2-] is increasing alarmingly. Diabetes prevention will be a great benefit via both a healthier population and relief to the national health budget. To develop targeted preventive treatments we first need to identify genetic risk factors, requiring access to a large number of samples. We will establish a national Repository which will make DNA available to all qualified Australian researchers enhancing their ability to identify causes of diabetes.
