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

J:29366

(M. spretus x STOCK-ct/ct)F1 x STOCK-ct/ct and (BALB/cByJ x STOCK-ct/ct)F1 x STOCK-ct/ct interspecific backcross progeny were genotyped using 70 SSCP markers on 19 autosomes in a genome wide scan in an attempt to identify loci which modify the ct (curly tail) phenotype. Curly tail is coded for by a locus on mouse Chromosome 4. Various statistical parameters were used to identify a region of mouse Chromosome 17 that modified the ct phenotype. Authors have named this recessive locus mct1, modifier of curly-tail 1. By combining progeny from the two backcrosses an order of loci on mouse Chromosome 17 was indicated as: D17Mit113 - D17Mit134 - mct1 - D17Mit11 - D17Mit6 - D17Mit3 - D17Mit72 - D17Mit123.
