Table 4.
The total number of control and PSSM2/MFM horses of each breed and counts within each denoting the number of horses with zero P variant alleles/loci, one P variant allele or locus or > 1 P variant alleles/loci
N | No Variants | One Variant Allele/Locus | > 1 Variant Alleles/Loci | % >1 P Variant Allele/Loci | P‐value (allele/locus) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control‐WB | 54 | 33 | 18/19 | 3/2 | 5.6/3.7 | |
PSSM2/MFM‐WB | 68 | 33 | 26/28 | 9/7 | 13.2/10.3 | 0.26/0.23 |
Control‐AR | 30 | 20 | 9/9 | 1/1 | 3.3/3.3 | |
PSSM2/MFM‐AR | 30 | 15 | 12/13 | 3/2 | 10.0/6.7 | 0.35/0.45 |
P‐values are given for comparisons of the number of horses with none, one or >1 P variant allele/loci between control and PSSM2/MFM horses by breed.
