The Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research Branch of NIDDK, NIH has been working with the Pima Indians of the Gila River Indian Community for over 40 years to determine the cause(s) of the very high rate of diabetes among them. It has been determined that there is a major genetic component to diabetes risk in the population and therefore a series of genetic studies have been undertaken to identify these diabetes susceptibility genes. The technology is now available to sequence completely the DNA of the entire genome of a Pima Indian to compare with whole-genome DNA sequences from other ethnic groups and to use to identification of DNA sequences (and genes) that are the cause(s) of the greatlyincreased prevalence of diabetes among the Pima Indians.
