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.
