| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vanishing white matter (VWM) disease is known to have a wide range of severity of, but the pathological determinants at the molecular level have not been clarified. In this study, we tried Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and influence factor search using gene expression analysis using causative gene mutant mouse of VWM disease. In the genetic background of B6 and C3H strains, the difference in the start timings of walking abnormalities in mutant mice was evident, and as a result of QTL analysis using this as an indicator, correlated chromosomal regions were detected. In this region, several genes showed marked differences in expression levels (e.g., ion transporter and apolipoprotein related genes). This method will be useful for elucidating the molecular level of the pathology of VWM disease.
