Notes

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

J:75407

Inbred mouse strain (DBA/2) is highly susceptible to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and is genetically very dissimilar to the standard fibrosis-sensitive strain, C57BL/6. The strain difference enabled the authors to genetically map the loci underlying the phenotype. One marker named Pfibs1, mapped within a region of mouse Chromosome 6 that contains a cluster of genes that are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor family. A second locus, Pfibs2 mapped within a region of mouse Chromosome 13 that included the Fgf gene family.
