  1. Abbreviations: BMI, body-mass index; BW, body weight; CRL, crown-to-rump length; WC, waist circumference. All phenotypes represent age adjusted and inverse normal transformed values used in multipoint linkage analysis. Human associated region refers to the associated region on human chromosomes for genome-wide suggestive vervet QTL. Suggestive loci of interest are from all regions with genome-wide suggestive linkage, not only the area with the maximum LOD score.
