BACKGROUND: Five quantitative trait loci (QTLs), Rf-1 to Rf-5, were found in Fawn-Hooded hypertensive (FHH) rats influencing susceptibility to renal damage. Previously, we found that single transfer of the Rf-1 QTL from FHH rats onto the renal-resistant August x Copenhagen Irish (ACI) strain caused a small increase in renal susceptibility. To investigate the separate role of the Rf-4 QTL and its interaction with...
