Body Composition QTLs Identified in Intercross Populations Are Reproducible in Consomic Mouse Strains.

Genetic variation contributes to individual differences in obesity, but defining the exact relationships between naturally occurring genotypes and their effects on fatness remains elusive. As a step toward positional cloning of previously identified body composition quantitative trait loci (QTLs) fr...
