Notes

• Experiment
  Linkage analysis was performed on 986 (C57BL/6J x C3H/HeJ)F2 female animals using 107 microsatellite markers to identify QTLs associated with bone mineral density (BMD). Parental strain C3H/HeJ exhibits higher bone mineral density values compared to C57BL/6J. Bmd8 mapped to 51 cM on mouse Chromosome 6 with a peak LOD=4.56 at D6Mit150 in linkage to femoral BMD. C3H/HeJ-derived alleles confer an additively-inherited decrease in femoral BMD at Bmd8.
