Summary

Genetics of Diabetes Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland (GoDARTS) contains phenotypic data (clinical and lifestyle factors), questionnaire responses and clinical examination results of over 16,000 diabetes patients in the Tayside region of Scotland.

Documentation

DARTS (Diabetes Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland) was started in 1996, and aimed to identify all patients with diabetes within the wider Tayside region, through electronic record linkage, in order to improve health care over and above that which was practical through existing general practice lists alone.

In 1998, consenting patients within this electronic database were recruited to the Genetics of DARTS (GoDARTS) study and invited to provide a blood sample for DNA extraction, for research purposes. At the same time, they were invited to provide phenotypic data (clinical and lifestyle factors), through questionnaires and clinical examination.

This resource was intended to help identify the relative contribution of specific genetic and environmental factors that are associated with disease onset, progression and response to treatment.

Access service description

HIC has implemented a remote-access "Safe Haven" environment to protect data confidentiality, satisfy public concerns about data loss and reassure Data Controllers about HIC’s secure management and processing of their data.

Data is not released externally to data users for analysis on their own computers but placed on a server at HIC, within a restricted, secure IT environment, where the data user is given secure remote access to carry out their analysis.
