Abstract excerpt
A mouse strain intercross between Apoe-/- AKR/J and DBA/2J mice identified three replicated atherosclerosis quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Our objective was to fine map mouse atherosclerosis modifier genes within a genomic region known to affect lesion development in apoE-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice. We dissected the Ath28 QTL on the distal end of chromosome 2 by breeding a panel of congenic strains and measuring...
