Abstract
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for blood pressure were sought using crosses of Dahl salt sensitive (S) rats and various normotensive strains. Multiple QTL were detected by linkage analysis and these were confirmed by construct ion of congenic strains for the QTL on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 13.
