Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses of plasma cholesterol levels were carried out in three sets of F(2) mice that were formed in a 'round-robin' manner from C57BL/6J, KK (-A(y)), and RR strains. Six QTLs were identified on chromosomes 1 (Cq1, Cq2, and Cq6), 3 (Cq3), and 9 (Cq4 and Cq5); of these, Cq2 colocalized with Cq6, and Cq4 colocalized with Cq5. The major candidate gene for Cq2 and Cq6 is Apoa2, and...
