Patient-perceived family stigma of type 2 diabetes and its consequences.
The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of type two diabetes (T2D) family stigma and its association with helpful and harmful diabetes-specific family behaviors and psychological and behavioral consequences of stigma. Perceptions/experiences of T2D-related family stigma were common in the study’s sample and associated with consequences of stigma including concealment and resentment of self-care, which may affect clinical outcomes.

Selecting SNPs informative for African, American Indian and European Ancestry: application to the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND).
The researchers studied individual genetic ancestry (IGA) in four samples in the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND). They found that the identified set of ancestry informtive markers (AIMs) may be particularly useful for estimating genetic admixture in populations from the Americas. They concluded that odds ratios for the associations of IGA with disease are consistent with what is known about the incidence and prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in these populations.
