Overview
This is a study to evaluate the HLA-DRB1\*04:01 genotype in adults that have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
Description
This is a non-interventional study to evaluate the distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1\*04:01 genotype in participants that are recently (within 6 months of the study visit) diagnosed with T1D, with a single blood draw for the analysis of HLA genotype within the study participants. Some participants may elect to collect buccal cells via cheek swabs for genotype analysis. The study duration will be approximately 24 hours and will include a single study visit for the collection of demographic data and a single blood draw or cheek swab, and a follow-up telephone call approximately 24 hours after the study visit.
