Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was used to identify chromosomal regions contributing to airway hyperresponsiveness in mice. Airway responsiveness to methacholine was measured in A/J and C3H/HeJ parental strains as well as in progeny derived from crosses between these strains. QTL mapping of backcross [(A/J x C3H/HeJ) x C3H/HeJ] progeny (n = 137-227 informative mice for markers tested) revealed two...
