Abstract
We identified restriction fragment length variants of the mouse low-density lipoprotein receptor gene and used these to map the gene, designated Ldlr, to the proximal region of chromosome 9. An interspecific backcross between strains MEV and CAST/Ei yielded the following gene order and distances in centimorgans: Ldlr-18.8 +/- 5.6-Apoa-4-7.3 +/- 3.5-Mpi-1-10.2 +/- 3.9-Emv-3 or dilute. Analysis of recombinant inbred strains also indicated that Ldlr is tightly linked to a previously unmapped retroviral marker, Xmmv-67.
