| Research Abstract |
A purpose of this research is to discover useful mutant genes from genetic resources of wild mice, development of new spontaneous disease models from them and analyze their characteristic and heredity. We have established a new inbred line (CASP) from Philippine wild mice. And we discovered some mutants from the mating of the wild mice with existing inbred strains and bred them as lines. Research results provided during a research period are as follows. About a search of genetic characteristics of the new inbred strain, we performed polymorphism analysis using by microsatellite markers. As a result, it was different from that of existing inbred strains greatly and we confirmed it is useful for genetic analysis of the mutants discovered. About a breeding of mutant lines, an inbred line expressed stable hyperglycemia was established as an non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus model by a selective inbreeding. We make a mating panel with this line and an existing inbred strains, and then

we will perform genetic analysis about this hyperglycemia factor. Morphosis abnormality mice have been bred as a congenic line and we can go ahead with a goal of inbreeding. We investigated characteristics of these lines and it was predicted that they were new mutants which were not reported. About body size variant lines, we performed a functional analysis and refinement of candidate genes about mapped quantitative trait loci (QTLs) concerning body weight and growth of mice by making congenic strains. We reported the characteristic and expression patterns of these QTLs as novel genes influenced weight difference. About development and breeding of new recombinant inbred (RI) strains by mating between subspecies, we started the mating between CASP and BALB/cA strains and have been bred each of more than 15 lines from two F1 pairs with reciprocal mating. However, as reproductive performance fell off in many lines between F several and F ten and several generations, it is difficult to establish more than 20 lines in total as inbred strains finally. This cause investigation and measures are future examination problems. Less
