About this trial
In partnership with Helmsley Charitable Trust, the Sanford PLEDGE Study is a large-scale, observational, feasibility study of general population screening for T1D and celiac autoantibodies. Screening is incorporated into routine health care visits within an integrated health system.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Newborn Entry: Viable, term infants, defined as 36 weeks gestation by either dates or ultrasound who are born to pregnant women, 18 years or older, who are willing and able to provide informed consent (IC) prior to the onset of active labor.

Pediatric Entry: Children less than 6 years of age who receive their routine care at a Sanford facility and whose parents are able to provide IC.
Adolescent Entry: Children, ages 9-16 years old, who receive their routine care at a Sanford facility and whose parents are able to provide IC.
Siblings of children known to have T1D-relevant antibodies; ages 6 to 17 years old who receive care at a Sanford clinic

Differential Gene Expression (DGE)
Diagnostic testOpt-in: Differential Gene Expression from cord blood at birth and peripheral blood at 12 months of age
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Demonstrated feasibility of large-scale population screening, as evidenced by:
1. The percentage of parent(s) that viewed the MyChart study information who went on to complete the MyChart informed consent, HIPAA and questionnaires. 2. Of those who consented to be in the study, the percentage who went on to obtain the initial sample. 3. Of the total samples collected, percentage that were valid and results received. 4. The percentage of subjects who complete their \~60 month visit by their 6th birthday.
Secondary outcomes
Seroconversion rates for T1D-relevant and celiac autoantibodies
Percentage of T1D seropositive subjects who enroll in another T1D monitoring or prevention study.
Percentage of celiac seropositive subjects referred on to GI or primary care
The percentage of celiac seropositive subjects who were evaluated in clinical setting
