Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic basis of stroke susceptibility remains to be elucidated. STR1 quantitative trait locus (STR1/QTL) was identified on rat chromosome 1 of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) upon Japanese-style stroke-permissive diet (JD), and it contributes to 20% of the stroke phenotype variance. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nine hundred eighty-six probe sets mapping on STR1 were selected from the...
