Searching for "monogenic diabetes" in dogs using a candidate gene approach [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Canine diabetes is a common endocrine disorder with an estimated breed-related prevalence ranging from 0.005% to 1.5% in pet dogs. Increased prevalence in some breeds suggests that diabetes in dogs is influenced by genetic factors and ...

STK25 Is a Candidate Gene for Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
Genomics, 2001 We determined the chromosomal location of the mouse gene Stk25, encoding a member of the Ste20/PAK family of serine/threonine kinases, by interspecific backcross analysis. We mapped Stk25 to the central region of mouse chromosome 1 linked to Chrng (formerly Acrg) and En1.

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]
, 2012 Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature
