Comparison Matrix Gene Expression + Recombinase Activity

Homozygous mutants are hyperphagic, low-activity, poorly cold-adapted, sterile and have enhanced fat conversion. They are obese, hyperinsulinemic and, on certain strains, severely hyperglycemic. Heterozygotes are normal but resistant to prolonged fasting.

Lepr is Candidate Gene for:

QTL	Genetic Location*	Genome Location (GRCm39)	Reference	QTL Note
Bglq4	Chr4, 33.96 cM		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 Tafat (80 cM) on mouse Chromosome 4 as identified by ExQuest are Ela2, Ela3b, and Dvl1 (82 cM). Chr 10 locus Ela2 exhibits 55-fold decreased expression in the pancreas of Tally Ho animals compared to C57BL/6J. For QTL Bwq1 (6.3 cM), potential candidate gene Decr1 was identified. For QTLs Triglq1 (6.5 cM) and Bglq4 (6.5 cM), potential candidate genes Ttpa, Bhmt(Chr 13), Baat(22.7 cM), and Aldob (22.3 cM) were identified. For QTLs Nidd1 (48 cM) and Dob1 (50 cM), potential candidate genes Lepr (46.7 cM), Dio1 (48.7 cM), Scp2 (52 cM), Faah (56.5 cM), and Usp1 were identified.
