Notes

• Experiment
  Analysis of F2 progeny from a cross between female C57BL/6J (aa; BB; CC) and male KK-A^y (A^ya; BB; Cc) mice were used to locate quantitative trait loci associated with obesity/body weight. KK mice are known as a polygenic model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with moderate obesity. Significant linkage in A^y/a progeny was found with marker D6Mit361 (LOD 5.0) on mouse Chromosome 6. This locus is called Bwq2 by the authors.
