    Notes: Summary The NSY (Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda) mouse was established as an inbred strain of mouse with spontaneous development of diabetes mellitus, by selective breeding for glucose intolerance from outbred Jcl∶ICR mice. NSY mice spontaneously develop diabetes mellitus in an age-dependent manner. The cumulative incidence of diabetes is 98% in males and 31% in females at 48 weeks of age. Neither severe obesity nor extreme hyperinsulinaemia is observed at any age in these mice. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was markedly impaired in NSY mice after 24 weeks of age. In contrast, fasting plasma insulin level was higher in male NSY mice than that in male C3H/He mice (545±73 vs 350±40 pmol/l, p〈0.05, at 36 weeks of age). Pancreatic insulin content was higher in male NSY mice than that in male C3H/He mice (76±8 vs 52±5 ng/mg wet weight, p〈0.05, at 36 weeks of age). Morphologically, no abnormal findings, such as hypertrophy or inflammatory changes in the pancreatic islets, were observed in NSY mice at any age. These data suggest that functional changes of insulin secretion in response to glucose from pancreatic beta cells may contribute to the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in the NSY mouse. Although insulin sensitivity was not measured, fasting hyperinsulinaemia in NSY mice suggests that insulin resistance may also contribute to the pathogenesis of NIDDM. Since these findings are similar to the pathophysiologic features of human NIDDM patients, the NSY mouse is considered to be useful for investigating the pathogenesis and genetic predisposition to NIDDM.

    Notes: Summary An insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)-susceptibility gene (IDDM13) has recently been mapped to a region of distal chromosome 2q, which is syntenic to the region of mouse chromosome 1 containing a murine susceptibility gene for IDDM, Idd5. To determine the contribution of this region to IDDM disease susceptibility further and to narrow the region for positional cloning of susceptibility genes, we have studied the association of distal chromosome 2q with IDDM in the genetically distinct Japanese population. A 137 mobility unit (mu) allele at D2S137 locus was significantly associated with IDDM (odds ratio 1.92, p = 0.0016). Other markers, D2S301 and D2S143, located in the same region were not associated with IDDM, indicating that IDDM13 is in linkage disequilibrium with D2S137, but not with D2S301 or D2S143. The association of D2S137 with IDDM was observed in patients lacking one of two high risk HLA alleles, DQB1 * 0303 and DQB1 * 0401, but not in patients with either of these alleles. The frequency of high risk HLA alleles was significantly lower in patients with the susceptible allele at D2S137, suggesting that IDDM13 contributes to IDDM susceptibility in subjects without high risk genotypes at IDDM1. Demonstration of allelic association of D2S137 with IDDM localizes IDDM13 in the close vicinity (〈 2 centiMorgans) of D2S137, greatly facilitating fine structure mapping and positional cloning of IDDM13.
