The INdian DIabetes COnsortium (INDICO) is an initiative to build a resource for genetic, epigenetic and clinical studies of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in socioeconomically transiting Indians. The consortium aims to follow selected communities which are undergoing rapid urbanization over a period of years to create a knowledge base for the better understanding of the gene-environment interaction in T2D. These resources can eventually be of value to not just the diabetes research community but would be able to contribute towards an improved understanding, diagnosis and prevention of numerous complex human disorders.

印度糖尿病联盟(INDICO)是一项旨在为社会经济转型期的印度人建立2型糖尿病(T2D)基因、表观遗传和临床研究资源的倡议。该联盟旨在追踪选定的正在经历快速城市化的社区,历时数年以创建一个知识库,以便更好地理解T2D中的基因-环境相互作用。这些资源最终不仅对糖尿病研究界有价值,而且能够有助于更好地理解、诊断和预防众多复杂的人类疾病。
