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. Bmd6 mapped to 86.3 cM on mouse Chromosome 6 with a peak LOD=3.14 at D2Mit456 in linkage to femoral BMD. C3H/HeJ-derived alleles confer an additively-inherited increase in BMD at Bmd6.
