In regions with low entropy and low variance, you have little genotype information and so low power to detect a QTL.
And so if observed QTL are in regions with more genotype information, that doesn't mean that they are spurious.
However, varying genotype information could bias estimates of QTL location.
Main ways to strengthen trust in QTLs are careful quality control on genotype and phenotype data, and plots of genotype vs phenotype at inferred QTL.
