Nktcn1 exhibits additive inheritance.
Candidate Genes
Microarray analysis was performed on thymus RNA from 4 week old NOD.Nkrp1b.Nkt1b congenic animals and NOD.Nkrp1b congenic animals to screen candidate genes for Nktcn1. The NOD.Nkrp1b congenic carries C57BL/6J-derived DNA from D6Mit105 (45.5 cM) toD6Mit135 (62.3 cM) on a NOD genetic background. The NOD.Nkrpb.Nkt1b congenic carries C57BL/6J-derived DNA from D1Mit369 (73 cM) to D1Mit155 (telomere) on a NOD genetic background in addition to the NOD-derived chromosome 6 interval. The formal QTL designation for Nkt1 is Nktcn1. Nkrp1 is synonymous with Klrb1c. Previously identified lupus susceptibility locus Sle1b (89.5 cM) maps near Nktcn1. Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markersJ:85376Linkage analysis was performed on 138 (C57BL/6J x NOD.B6-(D6Mit105-D6Mit135))F1 x NOD.B6-(D6Mit105-D6Mit135) backcross animals to identify QTLs associated with natural killer T (NKT) cell numbers. 181 markers (90% genome coverage) at an average spacing of 8 cM were used in the genome scan. Parental strain C57BL/6J exhibits higher NKT cell numbers compared to parental strain NOD.Nkrp1b. (C57BL/6J x NOD.B6-(D6Mit105-D6Mit135))F1 hybrid animals exhibit NKT cell numbers similar to the C57BL/6J parentals. Nktcn1 (natural killer T cell numbers 1) was identified at 87.9 cM on mouse Chromosome 1 with LOD=6.82 at D1Mit15. Nktcn1 spans a 7 cM interval with C57BL/6J-derived alleles conferring increased NKT cell numbers with an additive mode of inheritance. Potential candidate genes mapping near Nktcn1 include Sele, Xcl1, Cd247, Fcgr2b, Fcgr3, and Cd244.Nktcn2 was identified at approximately 73 cM on mouse Chromosome 2 with LOD=4.9 between D2Mit490 and D2Mit280. Nktcn2 spans a 3 cM interval with C57BL/6J-derived alleles conferring increased NKT cell numbers with an additive mode of inheritance. Potential candidate genes mapping near Nktcn2 include a yet unnamed heat shock protein and B2m.Suggestive linkages to NKT cell numbers were also observed between 15 cM (D2Mit294) and 31.7 cM (D2Mit458) on mouse Chromosome 2 with LOD=1.92, at 60 cM (D7Mit101) on mouse Chromosome 7 with LOD=1.9, and at 22.5 cM (D17Mit176) near the MHC region of mouse Chromosome 17 with LOD=2.0. |
