Characterization of PAF-AH Ib1 in NOD mice: PAF-AH may not be a candidate gene of the diabetes susceptibility Idd4.1 locus.

Abstract excerpt

We recently mapped Idd4 to a 5.2 cM interval on chromosome 11 with two subloci, Idd4.1 and Idd4.2, in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. Based on the localization of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase Ib1 (PAF-AHIb1) and the decreased activity of PAF-AH in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients, we hypothesized that PAF-AHIb1 in Idd4.1 is a candidate gene. The PAF-AHIb1 gene in NOD mice was cloned and sequenced, and...
