Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have previously identified an atherosclerosis quantitative trait locus (QTL) on mouse chromosome (Chr) 12 in an F2-intercross of atherosclerosis-resistant FVB and atherosclerosis-susceptible C57BL/6 (B6) mice on the LDL-receptor deficient (LDL-/-) background. The aim of the present study was to identify potentially causative genes at this locus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Expression QTL (eQTL) analysis...
