Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was employed to investigate the genetic determinants of cholesterol gallstone formation in a large intercross between mouse strains SM/J (resistant) and NZB/B1NJ (susceptible). Animals consumed a gallstone-promoting diet for 18 weeks. QTL analyses were performed using gallstone weight and gallstone absence/presence as phenotypes; various models were explored for genome...
