JDRF has launched the biggest ever international initiative to understand the genetics of kidney disease in people with type 1.

The JDRF Genetics of Diabetic Nephropathy collaboration will provide three years research funding worth more than $7 million. The collaboration includes research teams from around the globe including the UK, US, Canada, France, Denmark, Finland and the Republic of Ireland.

The UK arm of the study will be led by Dr Peter Maxwell from Queens University Belfast. Dr Maxwell and his team will try to understand how the genetic information translates to clinical symptoms of the condition. The Republic of Ireland arm will be led by Dr Catherine Godson from University College Dublin. Her team will be involved in the analysis of the data generated during the study.
