Find MODY - A Study to FIND Individuals with Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) Who Have Been Misdiagnosed as Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes
Aims: This is a 3-phase study to FIND individuals with Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) who have been misdiagnosed as Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes and implement gene-directed pharmacotherapies as well as identify new causal mutations and medical therapies. Currently, the study is in phase I where researchers are using the electronic medical record to identify and characterize individuals who are high risk for MODY. Phase II will be started once phase I is completed. Patients identified at high risk from phase I will be contacted to fill out a genetic survey, complete laboratory testing, and obtain genetic testing for MODY.
Diagnosis: Type 1 and Type 2
Principal Investigator: Liana Billings, MD
IRB Approval Number: EH14-424
Sponsor: N/A
Contact: For the FIND MODY trial we will contact participants who qualify. If you believe you may be at risk of having MODY or neonatal diabetes, please contact diabetes research staff at 847.663.8510 or email diabetesresearch@northshore.org. We can make arrangements for you to be evaluated in the Personalized Medicine in Diabetes Consultation Clinic.
