We aim to build the most comprehensive repository of whole exome sequences for T1D patients and their matched controls from Ukraine and adjacent countries in Eastern Europe.
The study utilizes whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify new genetic factors involved in T1D, which could help predict, prevent, and identify therapies to improve health in people living with the disease. The study is facilitatled as a collaboration of the Department of Biological Sciences Oakland University, MI, US, and Uzhhorod National University, Ukraine and funded by the The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
