Candidate Genes for Bw3:

Gene	Genome Location (GRCm39)	Reference	QTL Note
Rab9	ChrX:165240249-165262863 (-)	J:99477	Authors used novel data mining tool ExQuest to identify novel candidate genes for existing diabesity QTLs. Next, candidate gene expression in the liver, adipose, and pancreas of diabesity-prone Tally Ho mice and diabesity-resistant C57BL/6J mice was assessed by quantitative PCR analysis. Several potential candidate genes, some with no previous association to diabesity QTLs, were identified. Since QTL intervals may be large and could contain hundreds or thousands of potential candidate genes, this method allows researchers to focus on those with strong potential as well as identify novel candidate genes. Potential candidate genes for QTLs Bw1 (18 cM) and Bw3 (32 cM) on mouse Chromosome X as identified by ExQuest are Rgn and Rab9, respectively.
