Abstract excerpt
Human genome wide association studies (GWAS) have recently identified at least four new, non-MHC-linked candidate genes or gene regions causing type one diabetes (T1D), highlighting the need for functional models to investigate how susceptibility alleles at multiple common genes interact to mediate disease. Progress in localizing genes in congenic strains of the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse has allowed the...
