Candidate Genes for Obq4:

Gene	Genome Location (GRCm39)	Reference	QTL Note
Abcg5	Chr17:84965662-84990439 (-)	J:99477	Authors used novel data mining tool ExQuest to identify novel candidate genes for existing diabesity QTLs. Next, candidate gene expression in the liver, adipose, and pancreas of diabesity-prone Tally Ho mice and diabesity-resistant C57BL/6J mice was assessed by quantitative PCR analysis. Several potential candidate genes, some with no previous association to diabesity QTLs, were identified. Since QTL intervals may be large and could contain hundreds or thousands of potential candidate genes, this method allows researchers to focus on those with strong potential as well as identify novel candidate genes. Potential candidate genes for Hdl4 (32.3 cM) on mouse Chromosome 17 as identified by ExQuest are Gnmt, Lrg1, and Sepx1 (10 cM). For QTL Insq5 (56.7 cM), potential candidate gene Abcg5 (54.5 cM) was identified. For QTL Obq4 (4 cM) and Wta4 (17 cM), potential candidate genes Plg (7.3 cM), Acat2 (7.55 cM), Acat3 (7.55 cM), Hagh (11 cM), Igfals, Decr2, Clps (17.1 cM), Tff1 (17 cM), Tff2 (17 cM), Tff3 (17 cM), and Apom were identified. Tff3 exhibits almost undetectable levels of transcription in the liver of Tally Ho animals compared C57BL/6J.

Ppm1b	Chr17:85264169-85331419 (+)	J:91835	The correlation between gene expression and dietary interaction was examined in a population of (BALB/cStCrlfC3H/Nctr x VY/WffC3Hf/Nctr-A(vy)/a)F1 animals. A/a and A/A animals were placed on a 70% (calorie restricted) or 100% (non-restricted) diet andliver mRNA levels were assessed for over 18,000 genes using DNA microarrays. Twenty-eight known genes showing statistically significant differential expression between the 70% and 100% calorie diets and A/a and A/A genotypes mapped near known diabesity QTLs. These genes may be considered further for candidate genes. On mouse Chromosome 17, Tbp (8.25 cM) shows differential expression between A/a and A/A animals on the unrestricted diet. Diabesity QTL Obq4 (4 cM) maps near candidate gene Tbp. Vegfa (28 cM) shows differential expression between A/a and A/A animals on the restricted diet. Diabesity QTL Trbv4c1 (23 cM) maps near candidate gene Vegfa. Ppm1b (50.8 cM) shows differential expression between the restricted and unrestricted diets on the A/A background.
