Abstract excerpt
Congenic BB.SHR rats introgressing a segment of SHR chromosome 6 onto BB/OK background showed a reduction of diabetes frequency by 72% compared with BB/OK. To identify underlying gene(s), the introgressed segment was shortened and the expression of seven genes (Yy1, Dlk1/Pref-1, Wd40 repeat, Cdc42, Rtl1, Traf3, and Tnfaip2) was studied in blood and spleen of non-diabetic BB/OK, BB.6S, and SHR males and females at...
