Dataset from Studies to Treat Or Prevent Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes (STOPP-T2D) Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) Genetics Study

The TODAY study group has prepared a protocol with the primary objective of collecting blood
and phenotypic information to be used to explore relationships between candidate genes and
type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular
complications of insulin resistance. Participation in the genetics study includes a blood
draw for analysis of diabetes type and DNA extraction, as well as collection of basic family
and medical history. Appropriate informed consent and assent are obtained from all
participants to extract DNA and send blood, genetic material, and medical history to the
Central Repository of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The data are kept indefinitely by the
Central Repository. The NIDDK will issue requests for proposals (RFP) throughout the
scientific community for research that may help in the development of new diagnostic tests,
new treatments, and new ways to prevent diabetes and other related comorbidities.
