Mapping experiments restricted the QTL region to a restricted region in which Kif1c is the most likely candidate gene for the experimental autoimmune orchitis trait. Further, insertion of a transgene containing the resistance allele of this QTL to the susceptible background reduced susceptibility. This allele confers orchitis resistance compared to BALB/cByJ.
