Abstract excerpt
While sharing the H2g7 MHC and many other important Type I diabetes susceptibility (Idd) genes with NOD mice, the NOR strain remains disease free due to resistance alleles within the approximately 12% portion of their genome that is of C57BLKS/J origin. Previous F2 segregation analyses indicated multiple genes within the 'Idd13' locus on Chromosome 2 provide the primary component of NOR diabetes resistance....
