A complex plasma plant sterol locus on mouse chromosome 14 has at least two genes regulating intestinal sterol absorption.
We previously identified two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J and CASA/Rk, with different plasma plant sterol levels. An intercross between these strains revealed a broad plasma plant sterol locus on chromosome 14, which peaked at 17 centimorgan (cM) with a maximum logarithm of the odds score of 9.9. Studies in a chromosome 14 congenic strain, 14KK, with a 4-60 cM CASA/Rk interval on the C57BL/6J...
متن کاملPlasma plant sterol levels: another coronary heart disease risk factor?
The disorder Phytoterolemia is characterized by 50fold elevations in plasma plant sterol levels as well as tendon xanthomas and premature coronary heart disease.1 On pathological examination the xanthomas and arteries of these patients contain plant sterols.2 This has raised questions of whether plant sterols are proatherogenic and whether the “normal” variation of plasma plant sterol levels in...

there has been a gradual shift of focus from the study of rule systems, which have increasingly been regarded as impoverished, … to the study of systems of principles, which appear to occupy a much more central position in determining the character and variety of possible human languages. there is a set of absolute universals, notions and principles existing in ug which do not vary from one ...
15 صفحه اولGenetic regulation of cholesterol absorption and plasma plant sterol levels: commonalities and differences.
The molecular basis of the processes that control two closely related traits, the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines and plasma plant sterol levels, are only partially understood. The discovery that mutations in two novel hemitransporters, ATP binding cassette transporter G5 (ABCG5) and ABCG8, underlie a rare inborn error in plant sterol metabolism, beta-sitosterolemia, represents a ...
متن کاملOn locating multiple interacting quantitative trait loci in intercross designs.
A modified version (mBIC) of the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) has been previously proposed for backcross designs to locate multiple interacting quantitative trait loci. In this article, we extend the method to intercross designs. We also propose two modifications of the mBIC. First we investigate a two-stage procedure in the spirit of empirical Bayes methods involving an adaptive (i.e.,...
