Abstract excerpt
AIM: The present study aimed to identify the characteristics of genetically modified pigs carrying a mutant human gene as a research model for diabetes and its complications. METHODS: We developed a transgenic cloned pig (founder, male) carrying a mutant gene, i.e., human HNF-1α (P291fsinsC), which is responsible for maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3. Transgenic progeny obtained via the artificial...
