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

J:5301

An H2-linked locus named Hom1 (hormone metabolism 1) on mouse Chromosome 17 affects plasma testosterone concentration and testosterone binding capacity. The congenic B10.A-H2^a line carries A/Ph-derived DNA at the H2 locus (including Hom1) on a C57BL/10ScSnPh genetic background and exhibits higher plasma testosterone and testosterone binding capacity compared to C57BL/10ScSnPh. Analysis of (A/Ph x B10.A-H2^a)F2 animals showed that inheritance of A/Ph-derived alleles at the H2 locus confer increased plasma testosterone and testosterone binding capacity. This observation supports the existence of Hom1 located at approximately 23 cM on mouse Chromosome 17.

Male animals from B10.A-H2^a congenics and (A/Ph x C57BL/10ScSnPh)F2 and (AKR x C57BL/10ScSnPh)F2 intercrosses were analyzed for testes weight and vesicular gland weight. The B10.A-H2^a congenic carries A/Ph-derived DNA at the H2 locus on a C57BL/10ScSnPh genetic background. A locus named Hom1 (hormone metabolism 1) is believed to reside near H2-K and influences plasma testosterone concentration and the size of testosterone-influenced organs, such as testes, thymus, and lymph nodes. F2 animals homozygous for A/Ph-derived alleles at Hom1 exhibit increased plasma testosterone concentration, increased testosterone binding capacity, increased testes weight, and decreased vesicular gland weight compared to C57BL/10ScSnPh parentals or F2 animals homozogygousfor C57BL/10ScSnPh-derived alleles. F2 animals inheriting AKR-derived alleles at Hom1 exhibit increased testes weight and decreased vesicular gland weight compared to F2 animals homozogyous for C57BL/10ScSnPh-derived alleles, but to a lesser degree than animals homozygous for A/Ph-derived alleles at Hom1. Comparison of B10.A-5R and B10.A-2R recombinant congenic strains places Hom1 near H2-K (18.65 cM) and Ir1 on mouse Chromosome 17.
