Notes

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

J:66233

QTLs effecting body weight, obesity and muscle weight were found on mouse Chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 17 and for leptin on 14 and insulin on chromosome 4. The cross used in the genome wide scan included approximately 400 F2 mice from a (DU6i x DBA/2)F1 intercross. DU6i is a strain selected for high body weight. 93 microsatellite markers were analyzed in the genome wide scan. Locations of the QTLs were provided by the authors and may not be equivalent to the closest microsatellites. Liver weight QTL 5 was mapped to mouse Chromosome 15 at cM position 50.

10.06.2015 - Curator Note : Because Lwq5 (liver weight QTL 5) was originally mapped in J:49578 in 1998 using an outbred cross of DU6 x DUK, which differs from the cross used here, we consider the current study a separate mapping experiment and have named this QTL Lwq12.
