Abstract
A new set of rat RI strains consisting of 11 independent strains and 13 of their substrains was established by inbreeding F2 rats between F344/DuCrj and LE/Stm. The strain distribution pattern was examined for 66 microsatellite loci, 8 biochemical genetic markers, 2 histocompatibility loci, and 2 coat color genes. A rat salivary protein gene Spe1 was newly mapped on Chr 1.

Abstract
Linkages among three biochemical loci (Aco1, Ahd2, and Mup1) and four microsatellite loci (A8, Glut1, Jun, and Pnd) were determined to construct a linkage map of rat Chromosome (Chr) 5. Consequently, an extensive linkage map on rat Chr 5 was constructed with the following gene order: A8-Aco1-Mup1-Jun-Glut1-Ahd2-Pnd. In this linkage map, the Jun and A8 loci are newly placed, and two previously reported linkage groups on rat Chr 5 are connected by the Jun locus. The linkage map indicates an extensive linkage conservation between the loci on rat Chr 5 and those on mouse Chr 4.

Abstract
Polymorphism of the transferrin locus (Tf) was found in the laboratory rat and wild rats in Japan by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two phenotypes, "a" and "b," were distinguished in homozygotes. It is suggested that these are controlled by autosomal codominant alleles. In 10 laboratory strains, only the IS strain showed the a type. This allele found in the IS strain was broadly distributed in Japanese wild rats. It is considered to be derived from a wild rat in Japan. Linkage relationship between Tf and Alp-1 was not established.

Abstract
Several genetic loci involved in blood pressure regulation have recently been localized in experimental models of hypertension, but the manner in which they influence blood pressure remains unknown. Here, we report a study of the Lyon hypertensive rat strain showing that different loci are involved in the regulation of steady-state (diastolic pressure) and pulsatile (systolic-diastolic, or pulse pressure) components of blood pressure. Significant linkage was established between diastolic blood pressure and a microsatellite marker of the renin gene (REN) on rat chromosome 13, and between pulse pressure and the carboxypeptidase B gene (CPB) on chromosome 2. These findings show that two independent loci influence different haemodynamic components of blood pressure, and that pulse pressure has a specific genetic determination.

Abstract
A novel restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in inbred rats was revealed by Southern blot analysis with a clone arbitrarily chosen from a rat genomic library as a probe. A clone named alpha 403 showed interstrain variations in the length of the EcoRI and HindIII fragments. The EcoRI fragments were either 0.7 or 3 kb, those of HindIII were either 4.5 or 5 kb, and three types were identified as combinations of those fragments in 20 inbred rat strains. These types segregated in backcross progeny as codominant alleles. The locus for the RFLP was thus named A403. Analysis of linkage between the RFLP locus and 13 other loci reveal that the A403 locus was closely linked to the Cs-1 locus (15 +/- 5.2%), which belongs to rat linkage group XIII.

Abstract
The second intron of the rat SVS IV gene contains a tandem repeat region of 20-bp sequences. This region was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction to detect variations. Three alleles, characterized by amplified fragments of 750, 490, and 390 bp, respectively, were found in 24 strains examined. This variation segregated in F1 and backcross progeny in an autosomal codominant manner. We tentatively designated this locus Svs-4. Analysis of linkages between the Svs-4 locus and other loci revealed that it was closely linked to the Svp-1 (less than 2.9%) and the a (10.0 +/- 6.7%) loci, which belong to rat linkage group IV. The Svp-1 and Svs-4 loci, however, were differently distributed among the inbred rat strains.

Abstract
The current status of the rat gene map is presented. Mapping information is now available for a total of 214 loci and the number of mapped genes is increasing steadily. The corresponding number of loci quoted at HGM10 was 128. Genes have been assigned to 20 of the 22 chromosomes in the rat. Some aspects of comparative mapping with mouse and man are also discussed. It was found that there is a good correlation between the morphological homologies detectable in rat and mouse chromosomes, on the one hand, and homology at the gene level on the other. For 10 rat synteny groups all the genes so far mapped are syntenic also in the mouse. For the remaining rat synteny groups it appears that the majority of the genes will be syntenic on specific (homologous) mouse chromosomes, with only a few genes dispersed to other members of the mouse karyotype. Furthermore, the data indicate that mouse chromosome 1 genetically corresponds to two rat chromosomes, viz., 9 and 13, equalizing the difference in chromosome number between the two species. Further mappings will show whether the genetic homology will prove to be as extensive as these preliminary results indicate. As might be expected from evolutionary considerations, rat synteny groups are much more dispersed in the human genome. It is clear, however, that many groups of genes have remained syntenic during the period since man and rat shared a common ancestor. One further point was noted. In two cases groups of genes were syntenic in the mouse but dispersed to two chromosomes in rat and man, whereas in a third case a group of genes was syntenic in the rat but dispersed to two chromosomes in mouse and man. This finding argues in favor of the notion that the original gene groups were on separate ancestral chromosomes, which have fused in one rodent species but remained separate in the other and in man.

Abstract
It has recently been suggested that in the rat, sequence variation in the renin gene or closely linked genes may have the capacity to affect blood pressure and contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. To map the chromosomal location of the rat renin gene and to investigate its relationship to the inheritance of increased blood pressure, we studied a panel of rat x mouse somatic cell hybrids and a large set of recombinant inbred (RI) strains derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Brown-Norway (BN) rats. We have found that in the rat, the renin gene is located on chromosome 13 and that it belongs to a conserved synteny group located on chromosome 1 in man and mouse. We have also found the median blood pressure of the RI strains that inherited the renin allele of the SHR to be greater than that of the RI strains that inherited the renin allele of the normotensive BN rat. These findings, together with the results of previous studies, suggest that in the rat, sequence variation in the renin gene, or in genes linked to the renin locus on chromosome 13, may have the capacity to affect blood pressure.

Abstract
Genetic background for SHR (SHRSR) and SHRSP and WKY lines were screened by using biochemical genetic markers and class I major histocompatibility complex (RT1) typing. There were many kinds of SHR (SHRSR), SHRSP and WKY inbred lines. The genetic variabilities within SHR (SHRSR) or SHRSP strains were small, but those within WKY strains were not so small. When SHR lines were compared with WKY lines, the allele distribution in SHR lines was different from that in WKY lines at 3-13 loci. Three genetic markers, the Es-3b, Es-4a and PT1k, were identified as specific markers of SHR (SHRSR) and SHRSP. WKY/Izm, WKY/Hos, and WKY/Jim also carried the PT1k as well as SHR lines, but WKY/N and WKY/NCrj had the RT1l haplotype.

Abstract
Novel restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in inbred rats were revealed with the human N-ras gene as probe. Three fragments hybridizing to the probe were detected by Southern blot hybridization under highly stringent conditions, and one of the fragments showed variation in inbred rat strains. Furthermore, on hybridization under low-stringency conditions, an additional fragment hybridizing to the probe was observed, and this fragment also showed interstrain variation. These two variant fragments showed different distributions in 27 inbred rat strains and segregated in backcross progeny as codominant alleles of independent single autosomal loci. Therefore, the loci for these RFLPs were named Nras-1 and Nras-2, respectively. Analyses of linkages between the RFLPs and 11 other loci revealed that the Nras-2 locus was closely linked to the c locus (3.7 +/- 2.6%), which belongs to rat linkage group I.

Abstract
A novel restriction fragment length polymorphism in inbred rats was detected by Southern blot analysis with rat growth hormone cDNA as a probe. Four alleles, characterized by PstI fragments of 1.2, 1.1, 0.9, and 0.7 kb, respectively, were detected in 27 strains examined. The same distribution of polymorphisms was observed on digestion of DNAs of these strains with three other enzymes, PvuII, HindIII, and BamHI. Moreover, the same differences in length of allelic restriction fragments were obtained with these restriction enzymes as with PstI. These findings suggested that the polymorphism was caused by insertion or deletion of variable DNA segments in the second intron of the growth hormone gene. Linkage analyses using backcross progeny provided no evidence for close linkage between the restriction fragment length polymorphism locus and 10 other loci examined.

Abstract
Polymorphism of tear proteins was found by agarose gel electrophoresis among inbred strains of rats. The proteins (RTP-1) are inherited as a single autosomoal trait. The locus was designated Rtp-1 (rat tear protein-1) and it had two codominant alleles (Rtp-1a, Rtp-1b). Although we did not find any recombinant between the Rtp-1 and the Mup-1 loci among 67 backcross progeny, we found 3 strains with the recombinant type between them in 33 inbred strains tested. The results suggest that the Rtp-1 locus is very closely linked with the Mup-1 locus, which belongs to rat linkage group II. RTP-1 proteins strongly reacted with anti-MUP-1 A serum on agarose gel electrophoretograms.

Abstract
We have examined the linkage relationships between five biochemical markers, Acon-1, Ahd-2, Ahd-c, Akp-1, and Hao-1, and 19 other genetic loci in five breeding combinations. The genetic locus that codes for a recently described aldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver (Ahd-c) has been assigned to linkage group X (LG X). Hydroxyacid oxidase is coded for by a locus (Hao-1) that is linked to genes that encode agouti coat color and seminal vesicle proteins in linkage group IV. Alkaline phosphatase (Akp-1) was linked to the locus that encodes the C6 component of complement and this association provisionally defines a new linkage group (LG XI) in the rat. The locus Acon-1 could not be positively assigned to a specific linkage group but the results from one breeding combination suggest that this locus may be included in linkage group II. No linkage relationship could be detected for the aldehyde dehydrogenase coded for by Ahd-2.

Abstract
Treatment with dioctyltin dichloride (DOTC) induced increased mortality, atrophy of the thymus and suppression of responses to concanavalin A. Brown Norway (BN) rats were more susceptible than Lewis (LEW) to the lethal effects of DOTC and males were more susceptible than females. Increased mortality did not correlate with changes in the histological appearance of the thymus. LEW X BN F1 hybrids resembled the LEW parent in susceptibility to the lethal effects of DOTC and the BN parent in susceptibility to changes in the thymus.

Abstract
A genetic locus controlling the electrophoretic mobility of an acid phosphatase in the rat (Rattus norvegicus) is described. The locus, designed Acp-2, is not expressed in erythrocytes but is expressed in all other tissues studied. The product of Acp-2 hydrolyzes a wide variety of phosphate monoesters and is inhibited by L(+)-tartaric acid. Inbred rat strains have fixed either allele Acp-2a or allele Acp-2b. Codominant expression is observed in the respective F1 hybrids. Backcross progenies revealed the expected 1:1 segregation ratio. Possible loose linkage was found between the Acp-2 and the Pep-3 gene loci at a recombination frequency of 0.36 +/- 0.06.

Abstract
In the rat a single locus, provisionally designated Eag-1, controls the expression of an antigen present on the endothelium of kidney peritubular capillaries and veins. We have examined the linkage relationship between Eag-1 and 10 polymorphic loci including hemoglobin b, fumarate hydratase, peptidase-3, urinary pepsinogen, seminal vesicle protein, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, esterase-1, esterase-6, pinkeye, and hooded. Tissue samples from animals derived from (AUG X BN.1C)F1 X AUG and (AUG X BN.1C)F1 X BN.1C backcrosses were examined and a linkage association between Eag-1 and Fh-1 (EC 4.2.2.1) was detected. The linkage distance between Eag-1 and Fh-1 is 21 cM (chi 2 = 27.9; p = 0.00001) and this association defines the third locus in the tenth (X) linkage group of the rat.

Abstract
Genetic analysis of backcross progeny from previously characterized rat inbred strains revealed that the biochemical marker Lap-1 is localized in linkage group I (LG I). Lap-1 codes for leucine arylaminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11). The distances of Lap-1 to c, RT6, and Hbb, based on recombination frequencies, are 3.1 +/- 1.5, 8.3 +/- 4.0, and 11.4 +/- 2.8 cM, respectively. Acon-1 codes for aconitase (EC 4.2.1.3). The calculated distances of Acon-1 to c and Hbb are 30.1 +/- 5.0 and 36.1 +/- 5.3 cM, respectively. This suggests that Acon-1 is also in LG I, but the observed high frequency of double crossovers requires further confirmation of this linkage. Ahd-2, Es-6, and Gdc-1 are linked neither to markers of LG I nor to one another.
