<p>Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes (GoKinD) study is an initiative aimed at identifying susceptibility genes for diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetes.
A large number of individuals with type 1 diabetes were screened to identify two subsets, one with clear-cut
kidney disease and another with normal renal status despite long-term diabetes. Those who met additional entry criteria
and consented to participate were enrolled. When possible, both parents were also enrolled to form family trios. Altogether, GoKinD
includes 3043 participants comprising 931 cases, 944 singletons, 268 pairs of parents of cases, and 316 pairs of parents of control.  Accessible
as a GAIN database are 905 of the cases, 890 of the controls, 10 pairs of parents of cases and 10 pairs of parents of controls
(dbGaP <a href="./study.cgi?id=phs000018">phs000018</a> <i>Search for Susceptibility Genes for Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetes (GoKinD study participants), GAIN</i>).
The other parents and the remaining cases and controls are available by a separate application process through NIDDK.  Interested investigators may
request the DNA collection and corresponding clinical data for GoKinD participants using the instructions and application form
available at <a href="http://www.niddkrepository.org">http://www.niddkrepository.org</a> or by contacting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.</p>
