Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A single nucleotide polymorphism in the mitochondrial gene encoding NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (mt-ND2) has been associated with reduced incidence of human type 1 diabetes (T1D). We identified the orthologue of this mitochondrial single nucleotide polymorphism in mouse and using NOD mouse models linked this genetic polymorphism to T1D resistance. The mechanism how this single nucleotide polymorphism...
