Notes

• Experiment
  Linkage analysis was performed on 513 animals from a (SM/J x NZB/BlNJ)F2 intercross to identify QTL affecting obesity traits. Animals were placed on an atherogenic diet for 16 weeks before phenotyping. Parental strain SM/J exhibits smaller body size but higher adiposity compared to parental strain NZB/BlNJ.
  
  Bwtq12 maps to 34 cM on mouse Chromosome 15 near D15Mit90 (LOD=3.1) with a 95% confidence interval spanning approximately 12 cM - 54 cM. NZB/BlNJ-derived alleles confer increased lean body weight with a dominant mode of inheritance.
