Abstract
BUF/Mna strain rats spontaneously develop renal glomerular sclerotic lesions (RSL) at a nearly 100% incidence, diagnosed by hyperalbuminuria ( > 500 mg/dl) and glomerular lesions morphologically resembling one type of human focal glomerular sclerosis (FGS). Genetic segregation of RSL development was studied by crossing the BUF/Mna strain with two other rat strains, WKY/NCrj and ACI/NMs, which were free of RSL. Two autosomal recessive genes in the BUF/Mna rats were found to determine the susceptibility to RSL in both combinations of crosses.
