Candidate Genes for Bwtq2:

Gene	Genome Location (GRCm39)	Reference	QTL Note
Cyp4a10	Chr4:115375484-115390846 (+)	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 4, Cyp4a10 (49.5 cM) shows differential expression between the restricted and unrestricted diets on a A/A background while Tal1 (49.5 cM) shows differential expression between A/a and A/A animals on the restricted diet. Diabesity QTLs Bw7 (59 cM) and Bwtq2 (55 cM) map near these candidate genes.
