• Mutation: Undefined
• This allele confers resistance to pristane-induced plasmacytomas compared to DBA/2N. (J:15235)
• Inheritance: Recessive

Notes

Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markers

J:15235

Chi square values for mice derived in the intraspecific backcross BALB/cAnPt females x (BALB/cAnPt x DBA/2N)F1 males indicate a potential linkage between Pcts2 and Chromosome 1 marker Fcgr2. Additional markers need to be tested to confirm/reject linkage.

Heterozygosity at Pctm is associated with susceptibility to pristane-induced plasmacytomas, whereas homozygosity for BALB/cAnPt-derived alleles at this locus is associated with resistance.
