Linkage analysis previously demonstrated a blood pressure quantitative trait locus (QTL) on rat Chromosome 2 (Chr 2) in crosses utilizing Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats. The present work dissects this QTL by using congenic strains in which segments of Chr 2 from Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) are placed on the S genetic background. Two distinct QTLs were found where one QTL was anticipated. These each accounted for a blood pressure of 15-20 mm Hg in rats fed 2% NaCl diet for 24 days. One QTL was in the <9-cM interval between D2Rat35 and D2Wox18 (Fgg), and the other was in the <7-cM interval between D2Wox18 (Fgg) and D2Mgh10. A third tentative QTL was suggested, but not clearly established, in the <3-cM interval between D2Mgh10 and D2Rat259.
连锁分析先前在利用 Dahl 盐敏感(S)大鼠进行的杂交实验中,在大鼠 2 号染色体(Chr 2)上证实了一个血压数量性状基因座(QTL)。目前的工作通过使用近交系来剖析这个 QTL,在这些近交系中,将来自 Wistar Kyoto 大鼠(WKY)的 Chr 2 片段置于 S 遗传背景上。发现了两个不同的 QTL,而原本预计只有一个 QTL。在喂食 2% NaCl 饮食 24 天的大鼠中,这两个 QTL 各自导致血压升高 15 - 20 mmHg。一个 QTL 位于 D2Rat35 和 D2Wox18(Fgg)之间小于 9 cM 的区间内,另一个位于 D2Wox18(Fgg)和 D2Mgh10 之间小于 7 cM 的区间内。在 D2Mgh10 和 D2Rat259 之间小于 3 cM 的区间内,提出了第三个暂定的 QTL,但尚未明确确定。
