Abstract excerpt

We recently showed that a polymorphism in the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene (AM931150: g.276T > G) is associated with fat deposition traits in pigs. To confirm this result, we genotyped this polymorphism in an Italian Duroc population made up by 313 performance tested pigs with known...
