Abstract excerpt
Epistasis used to be considered an obstacle in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) despite its significance. Numerous epistases have proved to be involved in quantitative genetics. We established a backcross model that demonstrates a major QTL for hypertension (Ht). Seventy-eight backcrossed rats (BC), derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Fischer 344 rats, showed bimodal...
