Funded Activity Summary

A family-based study of diseases in a Western Australian Aboriginal community is planned. Patterns in DNA within families will be related to patterns of disease in two areas of health that are of major concern to this Aboriginal community, ear health in children (e.g. runny ears; perforated eardrums) and type 2 diabetes. Finding genetic determinants of disease provides information that can complement clinical, epidemiological and public health understanding of disease.
