Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify genes that modify photoreceptor cell loss in the retinas of homozygous Tulp1(tm1Pjn) and Tub(tub) mice, which exhibit juvenile retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: Modifier loci were identified by genetic quantitative trait locus analysis. F2 Tulp1(tm1Pjn/tm1Pjn) mutant mice from a B6-Tulp1(tm1Pjn/tm1Pjn) × AKR/J intercross were genotyped with a panel of single nucleotide polymorphism markers and...
