We found that 3/26 Arg +Ura +segregants emanating from a CES1/ces1::UAU1 heterozygote were homozygous for disruption at both loci ( ces1::UAU1/ces1::URA3 ) and had lost the wild-type CES1/ZDS1 allele [B.
For example, Rubattu and colleagues [ 73 ] identified 3 major quantitative trait loci in the F2 cross of stroke-prone and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
In order to distinguish the L91 and E82 loci more confidently in subsequent experiments, we defined the structure of the E82 locus in more detail.
Recent linkage mapping studies mapped hypertension QTLs to a number of chromosomal regions in SHR and SHRSP rats [ 35 ] . Our FISH study assigned the STSL locus rat chromosome 6q12, a region where a cluster of blood pressure QTL with Lod score 4~6 has been reported to be present (M6MIT12-M6MIT3, 39 cM distance) in a New Zealand genetically hypertensive rat (GH rat) [ 35 ] . With respect to hypertension, although the SHR and SHRSP strains carry the Gly583Cys mutation, in extensive QTL mapping studies using these strains, no loci mapping to the rat STSL region have been reported [ 35 ] . In our study, the GH rat is neither sitosterolemic, nor has any nucleotide alteration at the STSL locus that would implicate this region as mutated.
A major goal of QTL mapping is to define loci that affect critical phenotypes with sufficient precision to generate short lists of candidate genes.
