The effect of SNP1259 genotype on the number of thoracolumbar vertebrae

Genotype	No.	GF	TVN	LVN
CC	24	0.04	13.67±0.21aA	5.67±0.21a
CG	236	0.38	13.22±0.06bA	5.58±0.07a
GG	364	0.58	12.98±0.04cB	5.56±0.05a

SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; GF, genotypic frequency; TVN, thoracic vertebral number; LVN, lumbar vertebral number.

Phenotypic values were shown in estimated marginal means±standard error.

Values with different superscript lowercase letters in the same column were significantly different (p≤0.05).

Values with different superscript capital letters in the same column were highly significantly different (p≤0.01).
