The development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus in man and the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is greatly influenced by a gene linked to the MHC. Although homozygosity at the NOD MHC is required for a high prevalence of disease, during backcross studies we have found a small number of diabetic H-2nod/b MHC heterozygotes. These diabetic heterozygotes could either represent a crossover event between the MHC and a putative MHC-linked diabetogenic gene or, alternatively, they could indicate that there is a dominant MHC-linked diabetic gene that has low penetrance in the heterozygous state. Pedigree analysis of a diabetic H-2nod/b MHC heterozygote favors the latter hypothesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
