Overview

In this study, investigators wanted to determine the effect of T2DM susceptibility gene mutations on self-expression.

Participants (T2DM patients and controls) were recruited to identify genotypes and detect the levels of T2DM susceptibility genes expression in the fresh peripheral plasma. The normal pancreatic tissues or adjacent tissues of pancreatic cancer were also collected to identify the expression differences of T2DM susceptibility genes under different genotypes.

Description

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the changes of the expression of T2DM susceptible genes (NOS1AP, KCNQ1, TCF7L2, WSF1, GLP-1R, etc.) in participants (newly diagnosed T2DM patients and controls) after gene mutation.

Secondly, the expression differences of T2DM susceptible genes in T2DM patients with different genotypes were compared, and the relationship between the expression differences and clinicopathological characteristics of T2DM patients was analyzed.

Participants (newly diagnosed T2DM patients and healthy subjects) were screened from the department of endocrinology and health management center, whose fresh peripheral blood were collected. The normal pancreatic tissues or adjacent tissues of pancreatic cancer were collected in the department of general surgery. The DNA genome was extracted for genotyping, and then the expression levels of T2DM related susceptibility genes under different genotypes were detected by ELISA kits, PCR, WB,HE staining, IHC staining, ect.

The basic information of T2DM patients was collected, including demographic characteristics, physiological and biochemical data.Then investigators further compared the differences in the expression of susceptible genes between newly diagnosed T2DM patients and controls.

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.
