  1. H-2 shortens lifespan in mice (602 vs 689 days).

    “F2 and backcross progeny homozygous for the H-2 allele of B10.F had a mean age at death (602 days) significantly reduced from that of progeny homozygous for the H-2 allele of B10 (689 days).”

Excision repair of UV-induced DNA damage

upin mice1

1 study
  1. H-2 is associated with excision repair of UV-induced DNA damage in mice.

    “the level of DNA repair of UV-induced damage corresponded to the H-2 allele (H-2d/2d from NZB or H-2b/2b from CBA) inherited from the parental strain”
