Abstract excerpt
To examine further the genetic determinants of cholesterol gallstone susceptibility in inbred mice, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of an intercross of gallstone-susceptible PERA/EiJ and gallstone-resistant DBA/2J inbred mice. Three hundred twenty-four F2 offspring were phenotyped for cholelithiasis during consumption of a lithogenic diet and genotyped using microsatellite markers. Linkage...
