Notes: a Trait is the diagnosed cause of death, except for pulmonary adenocarcinoma, in which the trait was the presence of this lesion at necropsy, regardless of cause of death.

b Locus indicates the SSLP marker most closely linked to the QTL. An “m” in the locus designation indicates maternal inheritance, and a “p” indicates paternal inheritance.

c Indicates the group of mice evaluated (all mice, or just multiparous females), and the number of mice included in the calculation. Values of “N” differ slightly because the amount of missing genotype data varied among the SSLP marker loci.

d Gives the proportion of cases with indicated trait for each of the two relevant genetic alleles.

e The permutation-based experiment-wise probability level for the association.

f An asterisk indicates those associations that reach the p <.05 significance criterion.

g Pos (cM), Pos (mb), and MGI indicate, respectively, the position of the SSLP marker in centimorgans from the centromere, the position of the SSLP marker in millions of base pairs, and the identification code in the Mouse Genome Informatics database.

SSLP = simple sequence length polymorphism; NA = not available; QTL = quantitative trait locus.
