The cpk mutant mouse is the most characterized model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. To identify the modifier that modulates disease severity, an intercross between B6-+/cpk (heterozygous for the Cys1cpk mutation) and CAST was generated and 461 F2 cpk homozygous mice were examined for renal phenotypes. A major contributed QTL is mapped on chromosome 4 and gene Kif12 is found in this region. This gene is proposed as a cpk modifier gene of renal disease. For detailed protocols see Mrug et al 2005.
