1. Whole-genome scans have identified Dmo1 as a major quantitative trait locus for dyslipidaemia and obesity in the Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat. 2. We have produced congenic rats for the Dmo1 locus through successive back-cross breeding with diabetic OLETF rats. Marker-assisted speed congenic protocols were applied to efficiently transfer chromosomal segments from non-diabetic Brown Norway (BN) rats into the OLETF background. 3. In the fourth generation of congenic animals, we observed a substantial therapeutic effect of the Dmo1 locus on lipid metabolism, obesity control and plasma glucose homeostasis. 4. We have concluded that Dmo1 primarily affects lipid homeostasis, obesity control and/or glucose homeostasis at fasting and is secondarily involved in glucose homeostasis after loading. 5. The results of the present study show that single-allele correction of a genetic defect of the Dmo1 locus can generate a substantial therapeutic effect, despite the complex polygenic nature of type II diabetic syndromes.
