Having a good assessment of such risk in a patient is critical information for the clinician, in order to guide life style recommendations and prescribe the best medications. Evidence shows that genetics plays an important role in the occurrence of such complications related to diabetes, but nowadays genetic information is not yet part of the routine assessment of the risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This project proposes to identify relevant genetic information (DNA and its alterations over time) and combine it with other characteristics of patients in the form of a tool, which will be made available to clinicians and their diabetic patients. The intent is to fine tune the set of useful genetic markers and then to combine them with the medical information currently used to assess the risk of complications. This project will contribute to the improvement of management care of diabetic patients while controlling the health care related cost of the complications of a disease that became a modern pandemic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Co-applicants:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 735px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col span=\"2\" width=\"112\" \/>\n<col width=\"511\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\" height=\"19\">John<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\">Chalmers<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\" width=\"511\">The George Institute for International Health<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Ondrej<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Seda<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Michele<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Stanton-Jean<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Johanne<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Tremblay<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Mark<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Woodward<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">The George Institute for International Health<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-25763","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/25763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
