UNLOCKING GENETIC FACTORS PREDICTING TYPE 2 DIABETES COMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: THE FIELD STUDY

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Heart disease, stroke, eye and kidney diseases in diabetes have both environmental and genetic predispositions. With over 5000 Australians with diabetes, this research in the FIELD study is to identify the important genetic contributors to these complications. It will explore how the genetic features cause disease and whether the most important ones can be screened for in simple blood tests. It will also examine whether the genetic damage of ageing is accelerated in diabetes.
