Mice of the CXB recombinant inbred (RI) panel were phenotyped for period of locomotor activity in continuous dark (tau) and in continuous 10-lux light (tauLL). There were significant differences in the effect of light on period, delta tau (tauLL-tau), among CXB RI strains and their progenitors. By comparing strain means for delta tau in the CXB RI strains with typed genetic loci using a product moment correlation, it was possible to hypothesize quantitative trait loci (QTL) important to the genetic variance in the effect of constant low-level light on circadian period. Some of the candidate genes linked to statistically associated markers are neuropharmacologically interesting. Provisional QTL for delta tau were found on proximal Chromosome 8 and mid Chromosome 11 in regions near QTL identified in a similar analysis of the BXD RI panel. This provides additional evidence for the importance of loci on Chromosomes 8 and 11.
