Functional mapping of quantitative trait loci that interact with the hg mutation to regulate growth trajectories in mice.

Abstract excerpt

The high growth (hg) mutation increases body size in mice by 30-50%. Given the complexity of the genetic regulation of animal growth, it is likely that the effect of this major locus is mediated by other quantitative trait loci (QTL) with smaller effects within a web of gene interactions. In this article, we extend our functional mapping model to characterize modifier QTL that interact with the hg locus during...
