I am working on a genetic region (quantitative trait locus) that was identified in linkage analysis between two mouse strains that differed in response to induced arthritis. I am trying to identify the candidate gene in that region. The situation is that the gene that contains coding polymorphism has milder effect on disease phenotype whereas the gene that has strong effect on disease phenotype has no coding polymorphism. Is it okay to think in terms of epigenetic changes in such region that has been based on SNPs since it's linkage to the disease?
