Genetic basis of thermal nociceptive sensitivity and brain weight in a BALB/c reduced complexity cross: BALB/cJ vs BALB/cByJ Spinal Cord RNAseq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We found BALB/cByJ mice showed enhanced sensitivity on the 53.5°C hot plate and mechanical stimulation in the von Frey test compared to BALB/cJ mice and replicated decreased gross brain weight in BALB/cByJ versus BALB/cJ. We then identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 13 for hot plate sensitivity (LOD = 10.7; p < 0.001; peak = 56 Mb) and a QTL for brain weight on chromosome 5 (LOD = 8.7; p < 0.001). Expression QTL mapping of brain tissues identified H2afy (56.07 Mb) as the top transcript with the strongest association at the hot plate locus (FDR = 0.0002) and spliceome analysis identified differential exon usage within H2afy associated with the same locus. These data are spinal cord RNAseq to confirm differential expression of H2afy and other candidate genes.
