Notes

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

J:187953

Linkage analysis was performed on 266 female (B6.129P2-Apoe^tm1Unc/J x C.129P2(B6)-Apoe^tm1Unc)F2 intercross mice using 130 SNP markers to identify QTL associated with atherosclerotic susceptibility (atherosclerotic lesion size at aortic root). Parental strain B6.129P2-Apoe^tm1Unc/J exhibits higher incidence of atherosclerosis when compared to C.129P2(B6)-Apoe^tm1Unc.

QTL Ath41 maps to 26.2 - 64.2 cM on Chromosome 2 with a peak LOD score of 3.77 at D2Mit328 (52.2 cM) in linkage with atheroscleroticlesion size. B6.129P2-Apoe^tm1Unc/J alleles confer increased susceptibility to atherosclerotic lesion size with an additive mode of inheritance.
