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. Bmd15 mapped to 27.6 cM on mouse Chromosome 16 with a peak LOD=4.07 at D16Mit12 in linkage to femoral BMD. C3H/HeJ-derived alleles confer an additively-inherited increase in BMD at Bmd10.
