Scd1 is Candidate Gene for:

QTL	Genetic Location*	Genome Location (GRCm39)	Reference	QTL Note
Alcdp2	Chr19, syntenic		J:98587	Microarray analysis was used to identify genes showing alcohol-induced differential expression between inbred strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J. These genes were then correlated to 6 previously identified alcohol-related QTLs to identify potential candidate genes. Two different Affymetrix microarrays were used in the analysis. Brain expression data from parental strains and 56 (DBA/2J x C57BL/6J)F2 intercross animals were used for analysis. On mouse Chromosome 19, candidate genes for Alcdp2 at 40 cM were identified with modest priority status. These candidate genes are Scd1 (43 cM), Shoc2, Prdx3 (50 cM), and 3 other yet unidentified expressed sequences (ESTs).
Hcs6	Chr19, 38.15 cM		J:80006	In order to elicudate whether or not Scd1 is the gene responsible for hepatocarcinogenesis susceptibility QTL Hcs6, 179 animals from a (BALB/c x C3H/HeJ)F2 cross were typed for markers on mouse Chromosome 19 to observe the segregation of Scd1 and Hcs6. No linkage was observed, therefore the gene responsible for Hcs6 is not Scd1.
