Mapping a mouse limbic seizure susceptibility locus on chromosome 10.
PURPOSE Mapping seizure susceptibility loci in mice provides a framework for identifying potentially novel candidate genes for human epilepsy. Using C57BL/6J × A/J chromosome substitution strains (CSS), we previously identified a locus on mouse chromosome 10 (Ch10) conferring susceptibility to pilocarpine, a muscarinic cholinergic agonist that models human temporal lobe epilepsy by inducing ini...
متن کاملQuantitative trait locus for seizure susceptibility on mouse chromosome 5 confirmed with reciprocal congenic strains.
Multiple quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies designed to localize seizure susceptibility genes in C57BL/6 (B6, seizure resistant) and DBA/2 (D2, seizure susceptible) mice have detected a significant effect originating from midchromosome 5. To confirm the presence and refine the position of the chromosome 5 QTL for maximal electroshock seizure threshold (MEST), reciprocal congenic str...
متن کاملA susceptibility locus for radiation lymphomagenesis on mouse chromosome 16.
BALB/cHeA (BALB/c) mice are sensitive to radiation lymphomagenesis, while STS/A (STS) mice are resistant. We have selected a recombinant mouse, R1, with a STS-derived D16Mit165-D16Mit34 segment in the vicinity of the centromere of chromosome 16 among progeny from a (CcS-7/Dem x BALB/c)F1 x BALB/c backcross. To test the susceptibility to radiation lymphomagenesis, we generated a genetic cross by...
متن کاملSusceptibility locus for Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 10.
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the only genetic risk factor that has so far been linked to risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). However, 50 percent of Alzheimer's disease cases do not carry an APOE4 allele, suggesting that other risk factors must exist. We performed a two-stage genome-wide screen in sibling pairs with LOAD to detect other susceptibility loci. Here we report evid...
متن کاملMalaria Liver Stage Susceptibility Locus Identified on Mouse Chromosome 17 by Congenic Mapping
Host genetic variants are known to confer resistance to Plasmodium blood stage infection and to control malaria severity both in humans and mice. This work describes the genetic mapping of a locus for resistance to liver stage parasite in the mouse. First, we show that decreased susceptibility to the liver stage of Plasmodium berghei in the BALB/c mouse strain is attributable to intra-hepatic f...
