Primary Identifier | MGI:3046887 | Allele Type | QTL |
Gene | Igf1sl4 | Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
description | Igf1sl1 and Igf1sl4 exhibit epistatic interaction. Homozygosity for C3H/HeJ-derived alleles at Igf1sl4 negates the IGF-1 lowering effect of Igf1sl1. When Igf1sl4 is homozygous or heterozygous for C57BL/6J-derived alleles the effect of Igfsl1 can be observed. |
molecularNote | This allele confers decreased serum IGF-1 levels and decreased BMD in conjunction with C3H/HeJ-derived alleles at Igf1sl1. |
