Abstract excerpt
Two high-density lipoprotein cholesterol quantitative trait loci (QTL), Hdlq1 at 125 Mb and Hdlq8 at 113 Mb, were previously identified on mouse distal chromosome 5. Our objective was to identify the underlying genes. We first used bioinformatics to narrow the Hdlq1 locus to 56 genes. The most likely candidate, Scarb1 (scavenger receptor B1), was supported by gene expression data consistent with knockout and...
