Abstract excerpt
Significant differences in vertebral (9%) and femoral (50%) adult bone mineral density (BMD) between the C57BL/6J (B6) and C3H/HeJ (C3H) inbred strains of mice have been subjected to genetic analyses for quantitative trait loci (QTL). Nine hundred eighty-six B6C3F2 females were analyzed to gain insight into the number of genes that regulate peak BMD and their locations. Femurs and lumbar vertebrae were isolated...
