ALR mice are closely related to type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) prone NOD mice (a popular mouse model for type-1 diabetes research), but they do not have an identical haplotype which links to the type-1 diabetes resistance locus. To fine map the Idd16 locus and chromosomal regions carrying other resistance loci, ALR mice were outcrossed to NOD mice to produce 120 backcross female progeny. They were monitored for T1DM from 8 to 40 weeks and the following QTL analysis identified three ALR-derived resistance loci. For detailed protocols see Mathews et al 2003.
