Regions containing a putative lethal recessive haplotype are named based on the chromosome and their order along that chromosome, i.e. 6.1 refers to the first region containing a putative lethal recessive haplotype located along chromosome 6. P values are given for the probability of observing no homozygotes within the population given the number expected based on the frequency of the haplotype (P(O[H]=0|E[H])), the probability of observing no homozygous offspring given the expected number from matings between a carrier sire and a carrier dam (PO[H]=0|S,DCarriers) and the significance of mating status (MS) using the S × D model. R is the relative reduction in total number born as a result of matings between two carriers compared to matings between a carrier and a non-carrier. The number of standard errors that R was from the expectation of a lethal recessive effect and from no effect are given. P values are nominal, with the haplotypes that achieved Bonferroni corrected significance (P < 3.25 × 10−4) for MS highlighted in italics. Results arising from the concurrent assessment of two putative lethal recessive haplotypes are denoted by
