Objective
More than 35 millions of Europeans are expected to develop Type II Diabetes by the year 2010. This challenge merits a multinational effort espoused in this application;
(a) GIFT assembles a range of interdisciplinary expertise;
(b) GIFT participants have a long history of fruitful international collaborations;
(c) analysis of different populations is a useful tool to identify etiological genes, characterise the role of causing variants and genes/environment interactions, which may improve public health care. GIFT seeks to develop an exiting Genomic Integrated Force, aiming the improvement of genomic approaches in complex traits, using Type II Diabetes as a paradigm for multifactorial conditions. GIFT could have economic impacts by reducing massive health care, disability and social costs and by promoting biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
