All genes significantly associated with fatness that are contained between the estimated start and end of the CNVRs identified in this study

CNV ID	Breed	Chromosome	Gene CODE	Gene name	Function
5.D2	Duroc	5	MCHRI_PIG	Melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1	Regulates functions in the mammalian brain, particularly feeding behaviour; mice lacking MCH eat less and are therefore lean
5.D2	Duroc	5	F1SM76_PIG	Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha	Involved in metabolic control of the expression of genes encoding fatty acid oxidation
14.D1	Duroc	14	F1RLV1_PIG	Sodium/glucose transporter	Mediates transport across cellular membranes responsible for active glucose absorption across brush border of cells that lie in the gastrointestinal tract
14.D1	Duroc	14	F1RLU7_PIG	Sodium/glucose co-transporter	Low affinity sodium/glucose transporter
