DIAGRAM - DIAbetes Genetics Replication And Meta-analysis

The DIAGRAM - DIAbetes Genetics Replication And Meta-analysis - consortium is the second ORCA entry this month for human genetics consortia, which seem to be almost as productive a source of contrived acronyms as bioinformatics.

“The DIAGRAM (DIAbetes Genetics Replication And Meta-analysis) consortium is a grouping of researchers with shared interests in performing large-scale studies to characterise the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes, and a principal focus on samples of European descent.”

You can read more on their website, which features an array of additional acronyms (including some future ORCA entries).
