Table 2. The most significantly associated SNPs on chromosomes 6 and 22 after analysis conditional on the top SNP.
Chromosome | SNP-id | Physical Position (bp) | Minor allele frequency | P | Candidate gene |
6 | BovineHD0600020013 | 72,025,871 | 0.07 | 1.11×10−11 | KIT |
22 | BovineHD4100015611 | 32,787,124 | 0.03 | 6.11×10−17 | MITF |
The SNPs are arranged according to their physical position based on the UMD3.1 assembly of the bovine genome. The P values are obtained by using a variance components based approach to account for population stratification conditional on the most significantly associated SNP for BTA6 (BTB-00263209) and BTA22 (BovineHD2200009208), respectively.
