Are genetic loci for ventricular dilatation in the LEW/Jms rat with fetal-onset hydrocephalus influenced by gender and genetic background?
Phenotypic expression of hydrocephalus in Lew/Jms, although not X-linked, has a strong male bias. One, and possibly two chromosomal regions are associated with the hydrocephalus.
Gated moving phantom studies offer the advantage of testing acquisition protocols of complex motions and of helping to establish appropriate protocols.
