Funded Activity Summary

Type 1 diabetes is a disorder leading to high blood sugars, which can damage the small blood vessels of the the back of the eye and potentially lead to blindness. However not all diabetics will develop blinding eye disease. Our project aims to find the genes that contribute to the development of blinding diabetic eye disease so that patients who carry the genes can be managed and treated appropriately. This will help to reduce the incidence of blindness related to diabetic eye disease.
