What the study is about

The purpose of this study is to gain more information about the step-by-step process that causes someone to develop type 1 diabetes. Scientists think that a person's own immune system, directed by genetic and environmental factors play a major role in its development. Participation involves a blood draw, a brief medical history questionnaire and measurements of height and weight. Some participants will be asked to return for annual follow-up visits for 10 years.

Being studied: Blood Collection

Conditions: Type1diabetes; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1; Type1 Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetes Mellitus
