Abstract excerpt
We used mouse genetics to model how polygenic thresholds for the transition from impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to NIDDM are reached. NON/Lt and NZO/Hl are inbred mouse strains selected for IGT and polygenic obesity, respectively. Their F1 male progeny consistently developed NIDDM. Genetic analysis of F2 males from both cross directions identified an NON-derived diabetogenic locus, Nidd 1, on chromosome (Chr) 4...
