| Primary Identifier | MGI:2389019 | Allele Type | QTL |
| Gene | Idd3 | Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Idd3 and Idd5 appear to interact additively. C57BL/6-derived alleles at Idd3 in combination with C57BL/10-derived alleles at Idd5 partially reverses autoimmune exocrinopathy markers on an NOD genetic background. Idd10 and Idd3 interact to promote disease resistance. Homozygosity for C57BL/6-derived alleles at both Idd10 and Idd3 confers significantly increased resistance to type 1 diabetes. Il2 is a proposed candidate gene for Idd3. The electrophoretic mobility pattern of IL-2 correlates with type 1 diabetes incidence. Resistant strain C57BL/6J displays a heterogenous IL-2 mobility pattern with major protein species ranging from 17-19 kDa while susceptible strains 129 and NOD display a homogenous IL-2 mobility pattern with one major protein species at approximately 21-22 kDa. |
| molecularNote | This allele confers resistance to insulin dependent diabetes compared to NOD. |
