Research Abstract

We examined a quantitative trait locus (QTL)that may make C57BL/6 (B6)mice susceptible and BALB/c mice resistant to IBD developing in OX40 ligand-transgenic (OX40L-Tg)mice. The locus exhibits highly significant logarithm of odd (LOD)score for the IBD severi ty. Further positional mapping performed using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)at this locus revealed the lowest p-value (<10-7 )for the SNP in TNFRSF14 gene. TNFRSF14 encodes the herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), which belongs to the TNF recepto r superfamily.
