Trial summary

The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes a lymphoid-specific phosphatase (LYP) which is an important downregulatory factor of T cell activation. A PTPN22 polymorphism, C1858T, was found associated with T1DM in different Caucasian populations. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-receptor Type 22 (PTPN22) C1858T Polymorphism in Children and Adolescents of Greek Origin With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)

The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes a lymphoid-specific phosphatase (LYP) which is an important downregulatory factor of T cell activation. A PTPN22 polymorphism, C1858T, was found associated with T1DM in different Caucasian populations.

In this observational case-control study, we aimed at confirming the role of PTPN22, C1858T polymorphism in T1DM predisposition in a Greek population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. • Difference of distribution of PTPN22 C1858T alleles between patients and controls of Greek origin

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. • The association between PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism among patients and gender

    Measured: 3 years

  2. • The association between PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism among patients and age of onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)

    Measured: 3 years

  3. • The association between the PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism among patients and presence of autoantibodies

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

• Difference of distribution of PTPN22 C1858T alleles between patients and controls of Greek origin (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2014.
