Means, SE and P values for splenomegaly were calculated by analysis of variance. Normal distribution was obtained for splenomegaly (spleen-to-body weight ratio×1000) by raising values to the power of 0.00002. The numbers in bold give the average non-transformed values. Only P values significant after correction for genome-wide significance are given. Number of tested mice is shown in brackets. C and S indicate the presence of BALB/c and STS allele, respectively.
