1Estimated genotype means are identified by the 9 combinations of 3 MSTN F94L genotypes and 3 µ-calpain (CAPN1) diplotypes. F94L genotypes are designated by FF (homozygous F94LaF), FL (heterozygotes), and LL (homozygous F94LaL). CAPN1 diplotypes are designated NN-NN (homozygous CAPN1hNN), CC-NN (heterozygotes) and CC-CC (homozygous CAPN1hCC).

2Linear contrast coefficients multiplied by genotype means to estimate F94LaL and CAPNhCC haplotype additive (A) and dominance (D) effects.

3Linear contrast coefficients for 2-factor epistatic effects identified with 2 letters. The first letter is the F94LaL effect and the second letter is the CAPN1hCC haplotype effect, e.g., AD is additive F94L × CAPN1 dominance epistatic effect.

4Actual coefficients used were the whole numbers in table divided by this number.
