Abstract excerpt
The development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in both human and mouse is dependent on the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The analysis of newly created NOD.C3H congenic strains for spontaneous and cyclophosphamide-induced diabetes has allowed the definition of three controlling genetic loci on mouse chromosome 6. A NOD-derived susceptibility allele at the Idd6 locus strongly...
