Abstract excerpt
C57BL/6J mice develop genetically determined age-related hippocampal granular deposits that have some similarities to lesions seen in the brains of human patients with tau protein related neurodegenerative disorders ("tauopathies"). We sought to identify the genetic loci responsible for these in an F2 intercross of inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis....
