Quantitative trait locus mapping of genes that control body length and plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 level in mice

Table 3 QTLs identified by single QTL scans with the agouti locus as an additive covariate

^a Location indicates a map position showing a peak LOD score in cM.
^b 95% CI is defined by a 1.5-LOD support interval.
^c Maximum LOD score for QTL. Significant QTLs are indicated by * (suggestive QTLs are presented without asterisk).
^d Allele associated with higher trait values. Het, heterozygous genotype is associated with higher trait values. na, not applicable because this QTL interacts with the agouti.
^e Assignment of QTL name is limited to significant QTLs.
