Abstract excerpt
This study examines associations between SNPs in the promoter region of the fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) gene and fatness traits in pure bred Large White (n=98), Duroc (n=99) and Pietrain (n=98) populations. In the Large White breed, SNP g.-634 C>A was associated a 27% increase in IMF (%) in the heterozygote (CA) and a 38% increase in the homozygote (CC) relative to the (AA) genotype in the M....
