In 404 Lepob/ob F2 progeny of a C57BL/6J (B6) x DBA/2J (DBA) intercross, we mapped a DBA-related quantitative trait locus (QTL) to distal Chr1 at 169.6 Mb, centered about D1Mit110, for diabetes-related phenotypes that included blood glucose, HbA1c, and pancreatic islet histology. The interval was refined to 1.8 Mb in a series of B6.DBA congenic/subcongenic lines also segregating for Lepob. The phenotypes of B6.DBA congenic mice include reduced β-cell replication rates accompanied by reduced β-cell mass, reduced insulin/glucose ratio in blood, reduced glucose tolerance, and persistent mild hypoinsulinemic hyperglycemia. Nucleotide sequence and expression analysis of 14 genes in this interval identified a predicted gene that we have designated “Lisch-like” (Ll) as the most likely candidate. The gene spans 62.7 kb on Chr1qH2.3, encoding a 10-exon, 646–amino acid polypeptide, homologous to Lsr on Chr7qB1 and to Ildr1 on Chr16qB3. The largest isoform of Ll is predicted to be a transmembrane molecule with an immunoglobulin-like extracellular domain and a serine/threonine-rich intracellular domain that contains a 14-3-3 binding domain. Morpholino knockdown of the zebrafish paralog of Ll resulted in a generalized delay in endodermal development in the gut region and dispersion of insulin-positive cells. Mice segregating for an ENU-induced null allele of Ll have phenotypes comparable to the B.D congenic lines. The human ortholog, C1orf32, is in the middle of a 30-Mb region of Chr1q23-25 that has been repeatedly associated with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounts for over 90% of instances of diabetes and is a leading cause of medical morbidity and mortality. Twin studies indicate a strong polygenic contribution to susceptibility within the context of obesity. Although approximately ten genes making important contributions to individual risk have been identified, it is clear that others remain to be identified. In this study, we intercrossed obese, diabetes-resistant and diabetes-prone mouse strains to implicate a genetic interval on mouse Chr1 associated with reduced β-cell numbers and elevated blood glucose. We narrowed the region using molecular genetics and computational approaches to identify a novel gene we designated “Lisch-like” (Ll). The orthologous human genetic interval has been repeatedly implicated in T2D. Mice with an induced mutation that reduces Ll expression are impaired in both β-cell development and glucose metabolism, and reduced expression of the homologous gene in zebrafish disrupts islet development. Ll is expressed in organs implicated in the pathophysiology of T2D (hypothalamus, islets, liver, and skeletal muscle) and is predicted to encode a transmembrane protein that could mediate cholesterol transport and/or convey signals related to cell division. Either mechanism could mediate effects on β-cell mass that would predispose to T2D.
