Identification of quantitative trait loci for diabetic nephropathy in KK-Ay/Ta mice.

Conclusion: QTL analysis of KK-Ay/Ta mice revealed several new loci contributing to diabetic nephropathy and related phenotypes. Thus, it appears that type 2 diabetes and nephropathy of KK-Ay/Ta mice have different genetic factors.
