| Primary Identifier | MGI:2154232 | Allele Type | QTL |
| Gene | Mnek1a | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
| Strain of Origin | CAST/Ei | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Mnek1a interacts with a locus near D10Mit40 (29 cM). Homozygosity for CAST/EiJ at Mnek1a and D10Mit40 significantly increases kidney weight. Mnek1a also interacts with a locus near D4Mit11 (57.4 cM). Homozygosity for CAST/EiJ-derived alleles at Menk1a and C57BL/6J-derived alleles at D4Mit11 significantly decreases hematocrit values. |
| molecularNote | This allele confers increased kidney weight and decreased hematocrit values compared to C57BL/6J. |
