Impact of variation at the FTO locus on milk fat yield in Holstein dairy cattle.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

This study explores the biological role of the Fat Mass and Obesity associated (FTO) gene locus on milk composition in German Holstein cattle. Since FTO controls energy homeostasis and expenditure and the FTO locus has repeatedly shown association with obesity in human studies, we tested FTO as a candidate gene in particular for milk fat yield, which represents a high amount of energy secreted during lactation....
