What this trial studies
The Diabetes Registry Graz for Biomarker Research is a prospective cohort study that collects data and biological samples from individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, rare diabetes types, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Participants are recruited from the outpatient clinic at the University Clinic Graz and the Rehabilitation Center St. Radegund. The study aims to identify new biomarkers that can improve risk stratification for cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients by meticulously phenotyping subjects and following them annually. Blood and urine samples, along with comprehensive medical histories, are collected to facilitate this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved risk assessment and personalized treatment strategies for patients with diabetes and related conditions.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in identifying biomarkers for diabetes-related complications, making this approach promising yet still evolving.
