NYU Pediatric Diabetes Database and Biobank
The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is still incompletely understood. Markers of autoimmunity and immunologic changes occur prior to the development of elevated blood sugar levels. A significant amount of insulin production remains at diagnosis and slowly decreases over time. If we can better understand the processes involved in the evolution of insulin deficiency, we may be able to provide a mechanism through which we can slow or stop beta cell destruction. The New York University (NYU) Pediatric Diabetes Database and Biobank Study aims to: 1) Maintain a database from which clinical questions may be answered in the future2) Examine the rate of loss of beta cell function in subjects diagnosed with diabetes3) Examine the rate of loss of beta cell function in relatives of subjects diagnosed with diabetes4) Examine the role of the microbiome in the development of diabetes in children5) Identify environmental biomarkers present in serum and urine6) Create a resource to facilitate biomedical research within and without the NYULMC community 7) Examine the above in relation to cytokine production8) Examine the above in relation to T-cell function
NYU Validation of a Food Frequency Questionnaire in Children and Adolescents
The pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is still incompletely understood. Markers of autoimmunity and immunologic changes occur prior to the development of elevated blood sugar levels. Genetic risk accounts for approximately 40% of a person’s risk for T1D. Environmental influences are therefore responsible for the majority of risk. Diet and dietary exposures to pollutants are a potential mechanism through which risk for diabetes might be augmented.This study will validate a tool that can provide information about the quality of each subject’s diet. In addition, a potential benefit of this research may include the possibility of finding an agent that contributes to the onset and/or progression of T1D.In children, pediatric digestive disorders and Gastro Intestinal (GI) related issues are on the rise. Because of this, understanding what diet and dietary exposures children are exposed to when they have the diagnosis of GI diseases such as Celiac, Irritated Bowl Disease, Chrons, and many others. Exposures may be key to understanding the diagnosis better and preventing the onset.
