*

Maximum likelihood heritability estimates from linkage models: hq2 is the QTL-specific heritability, i.e., the proportion of the residual phenotypic variance due to the effect of the QTL, and hr2 is the residual heritability, i.e., the proportion of the phenotypic variance in the trait due to the effects of genes other than the QTL.

**

Genome-wide P-value associated with LOD score calculated using a modification of a method suggested by (Feingold et al. 1993) that takes into account pedigree complexity and the finite marker density of the baboon whole linkage map used in these analyses.

***

Location in centimorgans (cM) from pter-most marker locus in human genetic linkage map for that chromosome.

****

Standard errors for maximum likelihood estimates of residual h2(hr2) that estimated on a boundary (e.g., 0) were obtained by interpolative maximization.
