Abstract excerpt
We previously identified two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J and CASA/Rk, with different plasma plant sterol levels. An intercross between these strains revealed a broad plasma plant sterol locus on chromosome 14, which peaked at 17 centimorgan (cM) with a maximum logarithm of the odds score of 9.9. Studies in a chromosome 14 congenic strain, 14KK, with a 4-60 cM CASA/Rk interval on the C57BL/6J background...
