Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of mouse disease models provides a means to investigate how modifying loci cause variation in phenotypic expression. We have shown that polycystic kidney disease (PKD) progression in the juvenile cystic kidney (jck) mutation can be influenced by an epistatic interaction between alleles of different strain backgrounds and we localized one of these loci to chromosome 1. Using a chromosome 1...
