We have a special interest in the area of genomics of diabetes. Our research centre’s website www.mdrf.in will give you an idea about the type of research that we are doing. Our hospital website www.drmohansdiabetes.com will give you an idea about the type of clinical services that are offered at our centre.
I am happy to inform you that we at the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Chennai, as an ICMR Advanced Centre for Genomics of Diabetes have been working on the genetics of Neonatal Diabetes. We have so far screened about 30 children with neonatal diabetes and have found some novel mutations both the KIR gene as well as the SUR gene in Indian children with Neonatal Diabetes. We also have facilities to screen for the insulin gene. Thus, to our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive screening for Neonatal Diabetes genes in our country. I would like to ask you whether you have any cases with Neonatal Diabetes in your practice and if so we would be happy to offer to do genetic screening for Neonatal Diabetes mutations. This is being offered as a service and therefore will be done completely free of cost. We would require a blood sample of the child along with some clinical details. The child can be anonymized with respect to name and other identifiers to maintain confidentiality.

About Us :
Diabetes, a chronic metabolic non communicable disease (NCD), has attained epidemic proportions worldwide. As of 2015, 415 million adults have diabetes, and this number is estimated to increase to 642 million by 2040. More than 95% of all adults with diabetes have type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
India is one of the epicentres of the global diabetes epidemic and has the second highest number of people with the disease in the world with 69.2 million individuals as of 2015 and this number is set to increase to 123.5 million by 2040. The personal, social and economic costs of diabetes are huge and are likely to adversely affect India’s economic development over the next couple of decades.
