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

J:86884

394 (C57BL/6J x DBA/2J)F2 animals were genotyped at 97 polymorphic loci at an average spacing of 15 cM - 20 cM to identify QTLs associated with muscle weight. 23 BXD recombinant inbred (RI) strains were also analyzed using a panel of 623 microsatellite markers. Parental strain C57BL/6J exhibits greater muscle raw weight compared to parental strain DBA/2J.

Two QTLs were identified in the (C57BL/6J x DBA/2J)F2 population. Skmw1 (skeletal muscle weight 1) mapped to 6.4 cM (LOD=4.6) on mouse Chromosome 3 and spans 0 cM - 17 cM. C57BL/6J-derived alleles confer increased gastrocnemius muscle weight at Skmw1. Skmw2 mapped to 58.3 cM (LOD=3.5) on mouse Chromosome 8 and spans 53 cM - telomere. This locus is associated with markers D8Mit211, D8Mit113, and D8Mit271. DBA/2J-derived alleles confer increased extensor digitorum longus (EDL) weight at Skmw2. Skmw2 was also detected in the BXD population.

Three QTLs were identified in the BXD RI population. Skmw3 mapped to 13 cM (LOD=3.5) on mouse Chromosome 1 and spans 1 cM - 14 cM. DBA/2J-derived alleles confer increased gastrocnemius muscle weight at Skmw3. Skmw4 mapped to 23 cM (LOD=3.1) on mouse Chromosome 2 and spans 17 cM - 30 cM. C57BL/6J-derived alleles confer increased EDL muscle weight at Skmw4. Skmw5 mappedto 36 cM (LOD=4.3) on mouse Chromosome 17 and spans 34 cM - 38 cM. C57BL/6J-derived alleles confer increased gastrocnemius muscle weight at Skmw5.

An interacting locus pair was detected in the BXD RI population. DBA/2J-derived alleles at D1Mit134 (49 cM) in conjunction with DBA/2J-derived alleles at D17Mit3 (41.5 cM) confers decreased muscle weight, whereas DBA/2J-derived alleles at D1Mit134 in conjunction with C57BL/6J-derived alleles at D17Mit3 confers increased muscle weight.

Linkage analysis was performed to identify QTLs associated with fast- and slow-twitch muscle weights in aged animals. 321 (C57BL/6J x DBA/2J)F2 intercross animals surviving to age 808 days were phenotyped. Ninety-seven polymorphic markers were used to screen the F2 population. In addition 239 animals from 22 BXD recombinant inbred strains were phenotyped at age 805 days. Aged animals from parental strain DBA/2J exhibit decreased mean muscle weights compared to parental strain C57BL/6J. Loci reaching statistical significance of LOD>4.9 are assigned QTL nomenclature and reported below.

Linkage to soleus muscle weight (LOD=6.9) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscle weight (LOD=5.4) mapped to 97 cM with peak marker D1Mit221 on mouse Chromosome 1. This locus is Skmw6(skeletal muscle weight 6). The 1.5 LOD support interval spans 92 cM to telomere. This locus explains 1.2% of the variance. DBA/2J-derived alleles at Skmw6 confer increased soleus muscle weight with dominant inheritance. However, heterozygosity at this locus confers increased TA muscle weight compared to homozygosity for either C57BL/6J or DBA/2J alleles.

A nearby locus at 93 cM (D1Mit16) is linked to gastrocnemius muscle weight with LOD=4.9. This QTL is designated Skmw12 (skeletal muscle weight 12).The1.5 LOD support interval spans 89 cM - 102 cM. C57BL/6J-derived alleles at Skmw12 confer increased muscle weight with dominant inheritance.

The 1.5 LOD support intervals span 0 cM - 40 cM for Skmw10 and 45 cM - 72 cM for Skmw15.
