The LEW.1AR1-iddm rat is an animal model of human type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. T1DM susceptibility loci could be localized on chromosome (RNO) 20 in the major histocompatibility complex region (Iddm1) and on RNO1 (Iddm8, Iddm9) in a BN backcross cohort. In this study the impact of the different susceptibility regions on diabetes development was investigated in a...
