Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Type 2 Diabetes and Lean individuals aged 18 years or above, clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and a body mass index more than 16 and less than 23 Type 2 Diabetes and Non lean individuals aged 18 years or above clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and a body mass index greater than or equal to 23 Non diabetes individuals aged 18 years or above have a body mass index more than 16 and have never been clinically diagnosed with diabetes While they should be generally healthy individuals and may have been diagnosed with other non severe conditions that are not diabetes

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Refuse or are unable to understand or give consent Have a condition(s) that may make participation unsafe Are under guardianship or trusteeship Are pregnant or breastfeeding Have a clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, MODY, or LADA (confirmatory tests not required, only exclude if clinical diagnosis has already been made) Are unable to return for biological sampling (if necessary)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study will be a comprehensive map of genetic variants associated with the risk of lean and non lean diabetes and comorbidities in an Indian populationTimepoint: Three years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
This study will be to map genetic variants to quantitative molecular traits such as biomarkers, gene expression, gene splicing, proteins, and metabolites which will allow us to translate our genetic findings to a molecular mechanism associated with disease susceptibility or progressionTimepoint: Three years
