High-resolution mapping of significant hits on Chromosome 9 for plasma triglyceride levels. The eight coefficients of the QTL model show the effect of each founder haplotype on the phenotype. The model coefficients for the mapping of baseline triglycerides are plotted for each founder allele at each marker along Chromosome 9 and shading identifies the 95% Bayesian estimated interval around the peak (A). There are 34 potential candidate genes within the Chromosome 9 locus associated with plasma triglycerides at baseline (B). QTL, quantitative trait locus.
