What are the chances of getting mutation in the EC-SOD gene of a diabetic rat as the rat and human have 95-98% of same nucleotide sequence?

09 September 2014 1 10K Report

In diabetic patients, there was a mutation in Ec-sod gene. If we do same experiment with diabetic rats using the primers of human patients, then what will be possibility of getting mutation in ec-sod gene of diabetic rats.
