Polymorphism of coupled indels in porcine TNNC2 alters its transcript splicing and is associated with meat quality traits.

Abstract excerpt

The TNNC2 gene encodes the fast-skeletal C subunit of the troponin complex that plays a vital role in the regulation of striated muscle contraction and could be a candidate gene for pork quality. Here, we identified coupled insertion/deletion (indel) variants, a 17-bp insertion and an 11-bp deletion, in porcine TNNC2. The coupled indel variants provide an alternative splicing donor site and cause a 42-bp...
