OBJECTIVE: We have previously identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for atherosclerosis susceptibility on proximal chromosome 10 (Chr10) (Ath11) in independent crosses of FVB and C57BL/6 (B6) mice on the apolipoprotein E (ApoE-/-) and LDL receptor (LDLR-/-) deficient backgrounds. The aims of the current study were to (1) test a novel strategy for validating QTLs using interval-specific congenic strains that...
