Notes

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

J:208464

Linkage analysis was performed on 172 male (129S6/SvEvTac-Apoe^tm4Mae x D2.129P2(B6)-Apoe^tm1Unc/J)F2 intercross mice using 170 SNP markers to identify QTL associated with atherosclerotic susceptibility (atherosclerotic lesion size at aortic root). Parental strain D2.129P2(B6)-Apoe exhibits higher incidence of atherosclerosis when compared to 129S6/SvEvTac-Apoe.

QTL Ath35 maps to 139 - 173 Mb (60 - 86 cM) on Chromosome 2 with a peak LOD score of 5.9 at 172 Mb (85 cM) in linkage with atherosclerotic lesion size. D2.129P2(B6)-Apoe alleles confer increased susceptibility to atherosclerotic lesion size.
