The rat T-cell lymphopenia resistance gene (Lyp) maps between D4Mit6 and Npy on RNO4
TL;DR: The spontaneous diabetic syndrome of the diabetes-prone Bioa rat is caused by selective T-cell-dependent autoimT -1 mune destruction of the insulin-producing pancreatic 13 cells and a profound T- cell lymphopenia appears to be a preD4Mit6 requisite for the onset of the disease.
