Abstract
Predicting the mandible size before the termination of growth of the maxillofacial bones is essential in pedodontics as well as for the predictions needed for genetic analysis. Here, Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was used to detect the chromosomal regions responsible for the mandible length between the menton and gonion in an SMXA recombinant inbred strain of mice. Around the region 60 cM from the centromere in chromosome 10, the logarithm of the odds score showed a higher than suggestive level. Around the regions 13 cM and 16 cM in chromosome 11, two significant QTLs were detected. Analysis of genotypes from loci corresponding to those QTLs revealed a large mandible when the region between the markers Hba and D11Mit163 and D10Mit70 and D10Mit136 indicated the genotype from the A/J and SM/J alleles, respectively. These results suggest that the major gene(s) responsible for mandible length are located in these regions.
