Notes

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

J:50271

841 male mice 56-125 days of ages from 20 BXD/Ty RI strains were used to map QTLs associated with ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion behavior. Inbred strain DBA/2J exhibits increased sensitivity to ethanol compared to C57BL/6J and decreases consumption of an ethanol-paired distinctive taste (ethanol-induced taste aversion) in a dose dependent manner. Saccharin solution drinking water was used as the paired taste in this study. Etohcta7 (P<0.01 at D7Ncvs57) mapped to chromosome 7 at 36 cM. Etohcta7 is associated with ethanol-induced taste aversion at low-dose ethanol injection following the paired taste. Cons2 (P<0.01 at D7Mit234a) mapped to Chromosome 7 at 44 cM and is associated with preconditioned saccharin intake.
