Saline loading caused an increase in glomerular filtration rate in RAP mice but not in CBA mice. On the basis of progeny testing of F 2 hybrids, backcrosses to CBA, and inbred lines derived from backcrosses to RAP, it was concluded that the difference between the strains RAP and CBA was probably largely accounted for by a single gene locus. The use of this gene in physiological investigations of the control of glomerular filtration rate is suggested.
