DISCOVERY of Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in Youth
Start Date
10/1/2024
Completion Date
1/31/2028
Summary
The goal of the DISCOVERY study is to provide innovative critical information regarding the unique natural history of glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function, and their mechanistic determinates, in obese adolescents at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description
The DISCOVERY study will extensively phenotype a large cohort of youth at-risk for type 2 diabetes, as they transition through puberty, and characterize the course of dysfunction in pathophysiological indicators that lead to type 2 diabetes. The knowledge gained from this study of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of youth-onset type 2 diabetes with deep biochemical, clinical, and psychosocial phenotyping will critically inform the design and testing of future treatment and prevention approaches.
