Figure 5

A schematic map for the hydrocephalus locus on rat Chr17. The scale on the left is the rat genetic length in megabases (Mb). Positions for the rat DNA markers (open squares) were identified from Rat Genome Browser, Ensemble web site http://www.ensembl.org. To the right of the rat chromosome are the human chromosome homologues. The positions for two possible hydrocephalus loci found in a previous study on H-Tx rats [12], and the peak for LEW/Jms rats in this study are marked (arrows). Possible candidate genes (black diamonds and arrows) are named and their human cytogenetic and Mb positions given in parenthesis.
