Genetics of body fat mass and related traits in a pig population selected for leanness.

Scientific reports - 22 Aug 2017

Reyer Henry, Varley Patrick F, Murani Eduard, Ponsuksili Siriluck, Wimmers Klaus

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is characterized as the excessive accumulation of body fat and has a complex genetic foundation in humans including monogenic high-risk mutations and polygenic contributions. Domestic pigs represent a valuable model on an obesity-promoting high-caloric diet while constantly evaluated for body characteristics. As such, we investigated the genetics of obesity-related traits, comprising subcutaneous fat...
