HG.CAST-(D9Mit249-D9Mit133) (HG9) congenic mice are homozygous for CAST/EiJ chromosome (Chr) 9 alleles from approximately 9 to 84 Mbp on a C57BL6/J-hg/hg (HG) background. This region contains the carcass fat in high growth mice (Carfhg2) quantitative trait locus (QTL), and while its obesity-promoting effects have been confirmed in HG9 mice, its underlying genetic basis remains elusive. To refine the location of Carfhg2, we preformed a linkage analysis in two congenic F2 intercrosses and progeny- ...[more]
