Table 4. QTL for liver fattiness.
QTL | SNP | CI | LOD | a | No. Genes | Cohort | Other QTL in Interval |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NAFLD4 | rs13477769 | 70.2-98.5 | 3.01 | 1.21 | 182 | Female | Liver weight |
NAFLD11 | rs6180460 | 98.9-106.2 | 3.04 | 0.68 | 288 | All | Liver weight |
NAFLD14 | rs13482262 | 73.6-80.1 | 3.41 | 1.31 | 64 | High Fat Male | Serum glucose, serum insulin |
All LOD scores exceed the 5% chromosome-specific thresholds. QTL, quantitative trait loci; SNP, marker at QTL position; CI, confidence interval in MB; a, additive genotypic score; no. genes, number of genes in confidence interval. Number in QTL name indicates chromosome number. Other QTL in interval phenotypes from Cheverud et al. (2004a) and J. Kenney-Hunt, unpublished data.
