  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: People in the UK diagnosed with any type of diabetes before the age of 30 years from either white European or South Asian origin.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with diabetes on the basis of fasting glucose and/or oral glucose tolerance test and/or HbA1c as per WHO criteria.
  • Diagnosed with diabetes between 6 months and 30 years of age.
  • South Asian ancestry- defined as self-reported ancestry and at least 2 grandparents from the Indian Subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka).
  • European ancestry - defined as self-reported ancestry and at least 2 grandparents from within Europe.

Who cannot join

  • An established secondary cause of diabetes exists (for example recurrent pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, new onset diabetes after transplantation, Cushing's syndrome, acromegaly, steroid induced).

About this study

Official title: A Cross-sectional Study of Young-onset Diabetes in Two UK Ethnic Groups.

The purpose of this study is to describe and compare the different types of diabetes that exist in people from white European and south Asian origin in the UK (United Kingdom) who are diagnosed with diabetes before they turn 30 years old. By doing this we hope to identify cases of MODY (maturity onset diabetes of the young), which is a rare genetic cause of diabetes that is frequently misdiagnosed. Identifying MODY cases is important, as the treatment may differ to conventional treatment for type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

People who meet the recruitment criteria, will be invited to attend for a single fasted 2 hour visit at our research facility. During the visit we will record details of their diabetes history as well as their general health and undertake blood and urine tests. At the end of the visit their participation will be complete. We will contact them later to discuss results of specialist blood tests and whether or not they have MODY, if they have had genetic testing performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frequency of MODY

    Comparison of frequency of MODY mutations between two ethnic groups

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of biochemical and clinical characteristics in people with MODY between each ethnic group.

    • Difference in fasting C-peptide levels between UK South Asian and white European people
    • Difference in BMI, waist and hip circumference between UK South Asian and white European people
    • Differences in affected gene between UK South Asian and white European people

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Comparison of clinical and biochemical characteristics of other subtypes of diabetes

    In people phenotyped as type 1 or type 2 diabetes:

    • Difference in fasting C-peptide levels between UK South Asian and white European people
    • Difference in BMI, waist and hip circumference between UK South Asian and white European people
    • Differences in diabetes antibody positivity between UK South Asian and white European people

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nick S Oliver, MRCP (+442033311065, nick.oliver@imperial.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of MODY (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02082132, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Aug 2020.
