Abstract
The locus underlying hereditary resistance to the anticoagulant warfarin (symbol in the rat, Rw) was placed in relation to 8 positionally mapped gene-anchored microsatellite loci whose positions were known in the genome maps of the rat, mouse, and human.Rw segregated with the markers Myl2 (zero recombinants) and Itgam, Il4r, andFgf2r (one recombinant each) during linkage analysis in a congenic warfarin- and bromadiolone-resistant laboratory strain of rats. Comparative ortholog mapping between rat, mouse, and human placedRw onto mouse chromosome 7 at about 60 to 63 cM and onto one of the human chromosomes 10q25.3-26, 12q23-q24.3, and 16p13.1-p11.
