title: Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next Generation Sequencing in Multi-Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES) Follow-up Study: Framingham Heart Study

description: 
This substudy phs001610 Framingham T2D-GENES contains next-generation sequencing in multi-ethnic samples. Summary level phenotypes for the Framingham Cohort study participants can be viewed at the top-level study page [phs000007](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000007) Framingham Cohort. Individual level phenotype data and molecular data for all Framingham top-level study and substudies are available by requesting Authorized Access to the Framingham Cohort study [phs000007](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000007).

The ~52,000 sample Type 2 Diabetes Exome Sequencing project is a collaboration of six consortia with various funding mechanisms that have joined together to investigate genetic variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D) using the largest T2D case/control sample set compiled to date. This includes samples from: 
 - Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES) - Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes (GoT2D) - Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) - Slim Initiative in Genomic Medicine for the Americas (SIGMA) - Lundbeck Foundation Centre for Applied Medical Genomics in Personalised Disease Prediction, Prevention, and Care (LuCAMP) - Progress in Diabetes Genetics in Youth (ProDIGY) 


This data generated from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) cohort was part of the T2D-GENES (Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples) consortium, which is a NIDDK-funded international research consortium that seeks to identify genetic variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D) through multiethnic sequencing studies. The T2D-GENES Project is a multi-ethnic sequencing study designed to assess whether less common variants play a role in T2D risk and to assess similarities and differences in the distribution of T2D risk variants across ancestry groups.

The individuals were obtained from over 20 cohorts across the 6 consortia that are listed in Table 1. The strategy was to perform deep exome sequencing of individuals, 24,991 with T2D and 24,953 controls, divided among five ancestry groups: Europeans, East Asians, South Asians, American Hispanics, and African Americans. The T2D-GENES, ProDIGY and SIGMA studies, sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute using the Agilent v2 capture reagent or Illumina Rapid Capture on Illumina HiSeq machines. Please note that while we summarize the full sample list in publications and below, two of the cohorts below are not in dbGAP, due to the samples not being consented for deposition. This includes the Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg (KORA) study and Lundbeck Foundation Centre for Applied Medical Genomics in Personalised Disease Prediction, Prevention, and Care (LuCamp) study. The Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) was deposited in dbGAP as part of their initial study and the phs numbers for that project can be found here: [https://esp.gs.washington.edu/drupal/dbGaP_Releases](https://esp.gs.washington.edu/drupal/dbGaP_Releases).
