Abstract excerpt
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a complex quantitative trait that has a strong prognostic value for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Cardiac mass is determined in part by the influence of genetic loci that are known as quantitative trait loci (QTLs), the localization of which can be performed experimentally in genetic animal crosses. The present chapter outlines standard procedures for the selection...
