The University of Exeter’s world-leading diabetes research team has appealed for donations to continue a worldwide genetic testing programme which can dramatically improve lives for babies born with diabetes.
In the university’s first medical research crowd funder , the team is seeking to raise £100,000 to run the genetic testing programme for 500 children with neonatal diabetes, where diabetes is diagnosed in the first six months of life. To help reach the target, funding raised will be matched by a donor, on a pound for pound basis up to the value of £50,000 .
A new approach to predicting which babies will develop type 1 diabetes moves a step closer to routine testing for newborns which could avoid life-threatening complications.
Scientists at seven international sites have followed 7,798 children at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes from birth, over nine years, in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study. The TEDDY Study is a large international study funded primarily by the US National Institutes of Health and U.S. Centers for Disease Control, as well as by the charity JDRF.
