Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for stroke proneness between the kallikrein (Klk) and Mt1pa markers on rat chromosome 1. To gain functional insights, we constructed congenic strains by introgressing either the whole or selected chromosomal segments from the stroke-prone (SHRsp) onto the stroke-resistant (SHRsr) spontaneously hypertensive rat genome and vice versa. The phenotype was the...
