Figure 2.
LOD score plots for Chr 4 and Chr 6 lesion susceptibility QTLs. The y axis indicates LOD scores; the x axis indicates position along the chromosome (distance from the centromere in cM). Microsatellite markers typed in Mbc-Ldlr0 mice are indicated below the x axis. LOD scores were calculated and plotted at 2-cM intervals by using map manager qt software. The significance threshold of P = 0.05 for a backcross is indicated by a solid line at LOD = 3.3.
