Description
The purpose of the Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes (GoKinD) Study is to establish a repository of DNA and clinical information from adults with long-term Type 1 diabetes, with or without kidney disease, along with their parents. The fundamental aim of GoKinD is to facilitate investigator-driven research into the genetic basis of diabetic kidney disease as well as other issues concerning Type 1 diabetes. This clinically well-characterized population provides a scientific resource maintained under the joint stewardship of JDRF, the Joslin Diabetes Center, GWU and CDC. All collaborating organizations are committed to establishing and maintaining access to the data set as much as is feasible.
Recruitment of new families for the study is closed as of November 2004. In the three and a half years of the recruitment phase the GoKinD study has screened more than 5500 participants by phone and in person.
