Genes with ER QTL from the 19-strain set whose genotypes differed between A/J and B6 strains were tested in an independent group of A/J and B6 female livers (see Materials and Methods). The 11 genes with the strongest confirmation (measured by magnitude of the B6∶A/J variance ratio in the replication data set) are shown.
