Abstract excerpt
The identification of genes mediating susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains a challenging task. Using a positional cloning approach based on the analysis of nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice congenic over the Idd6 diabetes susceptibility region, we found that the NOD allele at this locus mediates lower mRNA expression levels of the lymphoid restricted membrane protein gene (Lrmp/Jaw1). Analysis of thymic...
