Pups born from females of the inbred mouse strain RR/Sgn tend to have low survival rates during rearing. We have previously identified Naq3, a quantitative trait locus underlying this low pup survival rate. In the present study, we confirmed the effect of Naq3 in congenic mice and investigated whether Vps8 is a candidate gene for Naq3. The survival rate of pups on the twelfth postpartum day was significantly...
