J:53484

76 polymorphic markers at an average spacing of 27.5 cM were screened in 535 F2 animals from a cross between inbred strains LG/J and SM/J to identify QTLs affecting skull morphology characteristics. The LG/J strain has a larger body size than the SM/J strain. A total of 26 skull morphology QTLs were identified. On mouse Chromosome 1, Skull1 maps to 46 cM - 68 cM with LOD = 4.67 at D1Mit7 and Skull2 maps to 104 cM - 134 cM with LOD>3.03 at D1Mit14.

Data from Leamy et al 1999 were reanalyzed to assess loci involved in early and late skull development. The data set includes 535 (LG/J x SM/J)F2 animals. Genome scan was performed with 76 informative markers covering 19 autosomes. Parental strain LG/J exhibits larger body size compared to parental strain SM/J. Early skull development traits phenotyped are cranial vault width, cranial vault height, and cranial vault length. Late skull development traits phenotyped are facial height, width, and length, and zygomatic arch width and length. Loci reaching the 5% significance level are reported below. Loci colocalizing with previously identified QTL from the Leamy et al 1999 study are represented using Skull# symbols. Novel loci are represented by the symbolsSdtq# (skull development trait QTL #). For full descriptions of QTL-trait associations refer to Table 2 of this reference. Most of these loci interact epistatically.
