All characterized genes within significant QTL regions were used as input in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. The Top 20 significant (P ≤ 0.05) pathways are listed. The results are displayed for pathways identified when using all QTL regions (61 total QTL) which resulted in 682 (999 total) annotated genes used for pathway analysis. The bottom section of the table displays the pathways identified when using only the co-localized QTL regions (7 total co-localized QTL regions) which resulted in 185 (226 total) annotated genes used for pathway analysis. The pathways are the top canonical pathways identified by IPA and are listed in alphabetical order. The ratio refers to the number of genes that were identified in the current study compared to the total number of genes that are in the pathway according to IPA
