Notes

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

J:103841

Linkage analysis was performed on 513 animals from a (SM/J x NZB/BlNJ)F2 intercross to identify QTL affecting obesity traits. Animals were placed on an atherogenic diet for 16 weeks before phenotyping. Parental strain SM/J exhibits smaller body size but higher adiposity compared to parental strain NZB/BlNJ.

Obq22 maps to 34 cM on mouse Chromosome X near DXMit1 (LOD=4.2) with a 95% confidence interval spanning 18 cM - 44 cM. NZB/BlNJ-derived alleles confer increased gonadal and retroperitoneal fat pad weights with codominant inheritance. Previously identified obesity QTL Fob4 (37 cM) and Obq6 (16 cM) map near Obq22.
