Abstract excerpt
Clinically detectable splenomegaly and splenic rupture are uncommon but potentially life-threatening consequences of G-CSF administration. Increased spleen size in mice injected with G-CSF is a complex genetic trait amenable to investigation in experimental inter-strain crosses by quantitative trait analysis. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) with highly significant linkage (LOD 7.9) for splenomegaly was...
