Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a Chr 15 quantitative trait locus (QTL) Fob3b in lines of mice selected for high (Fat line) and low (Lean line) body fat content that represent a unique model of polygenic obesity. Here we genetically dissected the Fob3b interval by analyzing the phenotypes of eight overlapping congenic lines and four F(2) congenic intercrosses and prioritized candidates by bioinformatics approaches....
