Abstract excerpt
Inbred CBA/H mice are susceptible to radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemia (r-AML), and C57BL/6 mice are resistant. A genome-wide screen for linkage between genotype and phenotype (r-AML) of 67 affected (CBA/H x C57BL/6)F1 x CBA/H backcross mice has revealed at least 2 suggestive loci that contribute to the overall lifetime risk for r-AML. Neither is necessary or sufficient for r-AML, but relative risk is the...
