The genes (green triangles) and QTLs (gray bars) are shown aligned with the rat genome, which has been colored according to the corresponding syntenic regions in the human genome. An expanded view for each chromosome is available that shows each individual gene and QTL location (inset). Each individual gene and QTL is hyperlinked back to the original database report page. Five hundred eighty-six rat genes, 388 rat QTLs and 127 rat strains have been associated with various types of cardiovascular disease. These are all available through the RGD Cardiovascular Disease Portal, along with 588 human genes, 559 mouse genes and 49 human QTLs.
