Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markers

J:66233

QTLs effecting body weight, obesity and muscle weight were found on mouse Chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 17 and for leptin on 14 and insulin on chromosome 4. The Cross used in the genome wide scan included approximately 400 F2 mice from a (DU6i x DBA/2)F1 intercross. DU6i is a strain selected for high body weight. 93 microsatellite markers were analyzed in the genome wide scan. Locations of the QTLs were provided by the authors and may not be equivalent to the closest microsatellites. Body weight QTL 5 was mapped to mouse Chromosome 1 to cM position 36.

01.07.2015 - Curators Note: We had originally associated the body weight QTL 5 identified here, mapping to 36cM on Chr1 as Bw5. Bw5 was originally mapped using a different cross, an outbred crossof DU6 x DUK, in J:49578, in 1998. We consider the current mapping study a separate mapping experiment and have named the QTL identified here as Bw36.
