Abstract excerpt
Hypertension is a complex trait of unknown cause in humans. Mice of the inbred strain BPH/2 serve as a rodent model of human hypertension and display elevated blood pressure compared with the hypotensive strain BPL/1. An F2 intercross of BPH/2 and BPL/1 and 2 backcrosses of BPL/1 with Mus spretus were used to perform interval linkage mapping for systolic blood pressure in a genome scan. Significant linkage was...
