Transcripts with a significant linkage overlapping the 1.5 LOD drop region of the PR QTL are listed with their genomic location (build NCBIM37), specific LOD score, marker with the highest LOD score, Spearmans correlation to PR (Rho and uncorrected p value). Transcripts with a significant correlation are marked in bold; Tnni3k is marked in bold and underlined.
