https://www.sanger.ac.uk/collaboration/sequencing-idd-regions-nod-mouse-genome/

Genetic variations associated with type 1 diabetes identified by sequencing regions of the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse genome and comparing them with the same areas of a diabetes-resistant C57BL/6J reference mouse allowing identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or other genomic variations putatively associated with diabetes in mice. Finished clones from the targeted insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) candidate regions are displayed in the NOD clone sequence section of the website, where they can be downloaded either as individual clone sequences or larger contigs that make up the accession golden path (AGP). All sequences are publicly available via the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration. Two NOD mouse BAC libraries were constructed and the BAC ends sequenced. Clones from the DIL NOD BAC library constructed by RIKEN Genomic Sciences Centre (Japan) in conjunction with the Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory (DIL) (University of Cambridge) from the NOD/MrkTac mouse strain are designated DIL. Clones from the CHORI-29 NOD BAC library constructed by Pieter de Jong (Children's Hospital, Oakland, California, USA) from the NOD/ShiLtJ mouse strain are designated CHORI-29. All NOD mouse BAC end-sequences have been submitted to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Consortium (INSDC), deposited in the NCBI trace archive. They have generated a clone map from these two libraries by mapping the BAC end-sequences to the latest assembly of the C57BL/6J mouse reference genome sequence. These BAC end-sequence alignments can then be visualized in the Ensembl mouse genome browser where the alignments of both NOD BAC libraries can be accessed through the Distributed Annotation System (DAS). The Mouse Genomes Project has used the Illumina platform to sequence the entire NOD/ShiLtJ genome and this should help to position unaligned BAC end-sequences to novel non-reference regions of the NOD genome. Further information about the BAC end-sequences, such as their alignment, variation data and Ensembl gene coverage, can be obtained from the NOD mouse ftp site.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000674.v1.p1

Human genetics data from an immense (78,000) and ethnically diverse population available for secondary analysis to qualified researchers through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). It offers the opportunity to identify potential genetic risks and influences on a broad range of health conditions, particularly those related to aging. The GERA cohort is part of the Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), which includes more than 430,000 adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system. Data from this larger cohort include electronic medical records, behavioral and demographic information from surveys, and saliva samples from 200,000 participants obtained with informed consent for genomic and other analyses. The RPGEH database was made possible largely through early support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to accelerate such health research. The genetic information in the GERA cohort translates into more than 55 billion bits of genetic data. Using newly developed techniques, the researchers conducted genome-wide scans to rapidly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomes of the people in the GERA cohort. These data will form the basis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that can look at hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs at the same time. The RPGEH then combined the genetic data with information derived from Kaiser Permanente''s comprehensive longitudinal electronic medical records, as well as extensive survey data on participants'' health habits and backgrounds, providing researchers with an unparalleled research resource. As information is added to the Kaiser-UCSF database, the dbGaP database will also be updated.

http://www.t1diabetes.nih.gov/t1d-raid/index.shtml

NOTE: The T1D-RAID program is not currently accepting applications. Cooperative program that makes available, on a competitive basis, NCI resources for the pre-clinical development of drugs, natural products, and biologics to facilitate translation to the clinic of novel, scientifically meritorious therapeutic interventions for type 1 diabetes and its complications. A partial listing of those services includes: high-throughput screening, studies in animal models, formulation, pharmacology and toxicology studies, and bulk substances acquisition. Requests to T1D-RAID are brief (20 pages or less), and should clearly outline the resources required to ready the proposed therapeutic agent for clinical trials. T1D-RAID should enable entry into the clinic of promising molecules that are not otherwise likely to receive an adequate and timely clinical test. T1D-RAID is designed to accomplish the tasks that are rate-limiting in bringing discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic. Once a project has been approved, NIDDKstaff interact directly with the Principal Investigator (PI). NCI contractors perform the T1D-RAID-approved tasks under the direction of NIDDKand NCI staff. The required tasks will vary from project to project. In some cases T1D-RAID will support only one or two key missing steps necessary to bring a compound to the clinic; in other cases it may be necessary to supply the entire portfolio of development requirements needed to file an IND. Examples of tasks that can be supported by T1D-RAID include, but are not limited to: * Definition or optimization of dose and schedule for in vivo activity * Development of pharmacology assays * Conduct of pharmacology studies with a pre-determined assay * Acquisition of bulk substance (GMP and non-GMP) * Scale-up production from lab-scale to clinical-trials lot scale * Development of suitable formulations * Development of analytical methods for bulk substances * Production of dosage forms * Stability assurance of dosage forms * Range-finding initial toxicology * IND-directed toxicology, with correlative pharmacology and histopathology * Planning of clinical trials * Regulatory affairs, so that FDA requirements are likely to be satisfied by participating investigators seeking to test new molecular entities in the clinic * IND filing advice The output of T1D-RAID activities will be both products and information that will be made fully available to the originating investigator for support of an IND application and clinical trials. T1D-RAID does not sponsor clinical trials.

Observational clinical trial studying the long term effect of diet and exercise and the diabetes medication, metformin, on the delay of type 2 diabetes in participants of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a multi-center trial examining the ability of an intensive lifestyle or metformin to prevent or delay the development of diabetes in a high risk population due to the presence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The DPP has ended early demonstrating that lifestyle reduced diabetes onset by 58% and metformin reduced diabetes onset by 31%. The DPPOS is designed to take advantage of the scientifically and clinically valuable DPP participants. This group of participants is nearly 50% minority and represents the largest IGT population ever studied. Clinically important research questions remain that focus on 1)durability of the prior DPP intervention, 2) determination of the clinical course of precisely known new onset diabetes, in particular regarding CVD, CVD risk factors and atherosclerosis and microvascular disease, 3)close examination of these topics in men vs women and in minority populations. More than 87% of the original surviving DPP cohort has joined DPPOS as of December, 2007 and, to date, after 5 years of DPPOS and 10 years of combined DPP/DPPOS, 93% of the DPPOS cohort continue to attend annual follow-up visits. Interim analyses performed after 5 years of DPPOS have demonstrated a durable effect of diabetes prevention associated with the lifestyle and metformin interventions with 34 and 19% reductions in diabetes incidence, respectively, compared with the placebo group. Interim analyses also reveal significant reductions from baseline in CVD risk factors in the lifestyle intervention group, but with decreased utilization of glucose-lowering and lipid-lowering medications. Analyses of the participants in the placebo group who have developed diabetes during DPP/DPPOS, compared with those who have remained non-diabetic, reveal an increased frequency of retinopathy and microalbuminuria. The current, updated protocol describes the DPPOS including the revisions incorporated to complete the second five-years of the study. DPPOS participants have blood samples stored at the time of each annual visit. Specimens are stored at the study CBL until after the primary study outcomes are reported. DNA samples were previously collected and are stored at the NIDDKsample repository for DPP participants.
