Table 3. QTL results for the body composition traits measured in the F₁₁ mice.

Shown are all QTLs affecting the body composition traits measured in the F₁₁ mice that had LOD scores reaching the 10% (suggestive) or 5% (^†) experimentwise level of significance. Locations on each chromosome (Ch) and confidence intervals of the QTLs are given in Mb (from NCBI Build 37). Also shown is the percentage contribution (%) of each QTL to the total variance of each trait, and its additive (a), dominance (d) genotypic effects (bolded values indicate significance at P < 0.05). Interactions of QTLs with sex are indicated as M (significant in males only), F (significant in females only) or both M and F (significant in both sexes where bolded values indicate the sex for which the QTL had the greater effect).
