Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) Dbm1 (diabetic modifier QTL 1) on chromosome 6, affecting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and body weight on F(2) progeny of hypoinsulinemic diabetic Akita mice, with the heterozygous Ins2 gene Cys96Tyr mutation, and non-diabetic A/J mice. To discover diabetic modifier genes on Dbm1, we constructed congenic strain for Dbm1 using the...
