Here we report the isolation by selective breeding of two sublines of Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice exhibiting a significant difference in the incidence of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). Whole genome sequencing of the NOD/NckH (high T1D incidence) and NOD/NckL (low T1D incidence) revealed the presence of a limited number of variants specific to each subline. Treating the age of T1D onset as a quantitative trait and using automated meiotic mapping (AMM), enhanced susceptibility in the NOD/NckH subline was unambiguously attributed to a recessive allele of Dusp10 which encodes a dual specificity phosphatase. The causative effect of the mutation was verified with a high level of confidence by targeting Dusp10 with CRISPR/Cas9 in NOD/NckL mice: in these animals a higher incidence of diabetes was observed. Expression of wild-type Dusp10 correlated with higher levels of surface PD-L1 in the islets of NOD/NckL mice.
