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

J:78754

Linkage analysis was performed on 986 (C57BL/6J x C3H/HeJ)F2 female animals using 107 microsatellite markers to identify QTLs associated with bone mineral density (BMD). Parental strain C3H/HeJ exhibits higher bone mineral density values compared to C57BL/6J. Bmd16 mapped to 24 cM on mouse Chromosome 18 with a peak LOD=13.67 at D18Mit36 in linkage to femoral and vertebral BMD. C3H/HeJ-derived alleles confer an additively-inherited increase in femoral and vertebral BMD at Bmd16.
