Genetic analysis has demonstrated that resistance is a dominant trait in a cross of DRH and Donryu rats [ 4 ] and that the number and size of preneoplastic hepatocytic lesions and the expression levels of glutathione-S-transferase-placental form (GST-P) mRNA and protein, a marker for preneoplastic hepatocytes, are strongly affected by highly significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) on rat chromosomes 1q ( Drh1 ) and 4q ( Drh2 ) [ 5 , 6 ].
