The Sle1c lupus susceptibility interval spans a 7-Mb region on distal murine chromosome 1. Cr2 is the strongest candidate gene for lupus susceptibility in this interval, as its protein products are structurally and functionally altered. B6.Sle1c congenic mice develop Abs to chromatin by 9 mo of age with a 30% penetrance and do not develop GN. To determine whether the New Zealand White (NZW)-derived Sle1c interval...
