Brief Summary:
Objectives:
* To conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify susceptibility genetic variants for diabetes among Han Chinese.
* To conduct resequencing of positional candidate gene/loci to identify likely functional variants in a subset of the cohort.
* To conduct replication studies of the top-100 scoring variants in three independent African and European ancestry samples.
* To investigate whether diabetes-associated variants discovered in European populations increase diabetes risk in Han Chinese.
Eligibility:
* Patients 25 years of age with newly diagnosed T2D in Suizhou, China. Control subjects are nondiabetics, age and ethnically matched to patients.
Design:
* The study design for both patients and controls consists of the following steps:
* Discuss informed consent process and obtain signed informed consent form. Informed consent will be administered by trained clinic staff.
* Assign study ID (barcode)
* Administer questionnaires
* Obtain spot urine sample
* Measure blood pressure
* Obtain anthropometric measurements including body composition
* Perform finger prick for blood glucose level
* Obtain venous blood samples
* Perform eye examination
* On the following day, perform confirmatory blood glucose for the small subset of participants requiring confirmation of previous test result
* DNA extraction of stored samples will be done at either the National Institutes of Health or the laboratory in China.
* GWAS will be conducted using publicly available software packages.

Detailed Description:
This research protocol is designed to study the genetic basis of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in Han Chinese. This project taking place at Suizhou Central Hospital complements several years of similar research activities conducted by Dr. Rotimi s lab in populations of the African Diaspora with study sites in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and the US. Suizhou Hospital was selected because of the existence of an excellent team of research investigators, infrastructure and more importantly, the availability of a large population from which to enroll and examine persons with diabetes and normal controls. Previous funding from Dr. Rotimi s lab at Howard University made it possible for Dr. Jiang and staff to enroll 1000 cases and controls. Therefore, the goal of the current project is to enroll additional 1500 cases of T2D and 1500 ethnically matched Han controls from Suizhou to facilitate the conduct of genome-wide association study (GWAS) and candidate gene/loci studies in Han, Chinese. The current project will increase the number of subjects for future GWAS, linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping and functional studies to over 4,000 ethnically balanced cases (greater than 2,000) and controls (greater than 2,000). Identified candidate genes/loci will be investigated by re-sequencing and functional studies will be conducted to identify susceptibility variants for diabetes and associated complications including obesity, hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Given past activities, it is also anticipated that this resource will form the basis of multiple collaborations between Dr. Rotimi s lab, several NIH intramural researchers and non-NIH scientists.
