Candidate Genes
Linkage analysis was performed on 3 separate F2 crosses in 3 previous studies: J: 54322, J:87328 and J:94251 to map QTLs associated with plasma cholesterol levels. Cq1, Cq2, and Cq6 mapped to mouse Chromosome 1, Cq3 mapped to mouse Chromosome 3, and Cq4 and Cq5 mapped to mouse Chromosome 9. Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markersJ:94251Linkage analysis was performed on 187 female (C57BL/6J x RR)F2 intercross animals to identify QTLs associated with plasma lipid traits. Parental strain RR exhibits increased body weight, plasma cholesterol and triglycerides compared to parental strain C57BL/6J. 80 microsatellite markers at an average spacing of 20 cM were used for the genome scan. A locus associated with total plasma cholesterol, Cq6, mapped to distal mouse Chromosome 1 near D1Mit206 (LOD=16.3). This locus explains 33.1% of the phenotypic variance. The 95% confidence interval of Cq6 spans 87.2 cM - 97.8 cM. RR-derived alleles at Cq6 confer increased plasma cholesterol with dominant inheritance. Cq6 coincides with Cq2 but authors have chosen to keep the QTLs separate at present. A strongcandidate gene mapping near Cq6 is Apoa2 (92.6 cM). D1Mit206 also shows linkage to plasma triglycerides. The authors have designated a separate symbol, Trglyd, for this linkage. RR-derived alleles confer increased plasma triglycerides at Trglyd.Suggestive linkage to plasma cholesterol mapped to 45 cM on mouse Chromosome 5 near D5Mit259 (LOD=2.6). Suggestive linkage to body weight mapped to 80 cM on mouse Chromosome 4 near D4Mit225 (LOD=3.8). RR-derived alleles confer decreased body weight at the chromosome 4 locus. |
