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. Bmd7 mapped to 57.4 cM on mouse Chromosome 4 with a peak LOD=16.3 at D4Mit124 in linkage to femoral and vertebral BMD. C3H/HeJ-derived alleles confer an additively-inherited increase in femoral and vertebral BMD at Bmd7.
