Radiation therapy of the thorax may result in side effects such as alve- olitis and pulmonary fibrosis, both of which limit the efficacy of cancer therapy. Previously, it was determined that mice congenic on chromosomes 2, 4 and 11 succumb to radiation-induced lung disease significantly faster than C57BL/6J mice. Herein we use chromosome 4 and 11 congenic strains and chromosome 4 sub-congenic strains to identify radiation-induced lung response susceptibility loci in C3H/HeJ congenic mice on a C57BL/6J background. Mice were treated with 18-Gy whole-thorax irradiation and their survival, lung histopathology, and BAL cell types were determined. All protein coding genes within the congenic regions were analyzed in silico and a QTL-wide associat...
