Abstract excerpt
To examine the hypothesis that serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have a heritable component, we analyzed blood from two inbred strains of mice, MRL/MpJ and SJL, which exhibit 90% difference in total serum ALP activity (268+/-26 vs. 140+/-15 U/l, respectively, P<0.001). A genome-wide scan was carried out using 137 polymorphic markers in 518 F2 female mice. Serum ALP activity in the F2 progeny showed a normal...
