Abstract excerpt
Recently, the SERPINA6 gene encoding corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) has been proposed as a candidate gene for a quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting cortisol level on pig chromosome 7. The QTL was repeatedly detected in different lines, including a Piétrain × (German Landrace × German Large White) cross (PiF1) and purebred German Landrace (LR). In this study, we investigated whether the known...
