Overview

Type 2 diabetes and obesity are both multifactorial diseases resulting from gene-environment interactions. However, this interaction, as well as the specific effect of each polymorphism, remains poorly understood.

We now proposed a prospective cohort study to improve our understanding of the influence of phenotypic characteristics on gene expression in tissues involved in glucose and/or lipid metabolism by collecting different biological samples.

Description

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease commonly associated with obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. More than 80% of the diabetic subjects are obese. By analogy with the metabolic syndrome, the close association between obesity and T2D justifies the recognition of a new disease entity named by the neologism "diabesity".

This study will examine the contribution of different genetic variants on "diabesity" development, by integrating multiple genomics approaches (linkage analysis on whole genome, transcriptomics and bioinformatics) and analysis of biological pathways in relevant animals models and humans.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age between 18 and 65 years

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
