Abstract excerpt
The knowledge of genetic factors determining the age at onset of diabetes may help to delay the development of diabetes and its complications. This prompted us to use our well-characterized BB/OK rat whose age at onset of diabetes can change from 50 to more than 400 days for crossing studies to search for loci cosegregating with the age at onset. Fifty-nine diabetic first backcross hybrids resulting from crosses...
