Genomic Prediction and Genome‐Wide Association Analysis of Heat Tolerance for Milk Yield in Buffaloes Using a Reaction Norm Model

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating genomic information on the estimation of genetic (co)variance components and the accuracy of breeding values for milk yield under varying thermal environments, and to identify SNPs associated with genes that play significant roles in heat tolerance.

Genetic Evaluation of Beef Sires Using a Beef‐on‐Dairy Crossbred Reference Population

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Beef‐on‐Dairy (BoD) crossbreeding programs have gained momentum to enhance dairy cattle's economic and genetic merits while meeting the demand for high‐quality beef. However, bulls with superior growth potential can lead to calving problems; thus, Holstein dairy farmers must decide which semen to use to avoid calving problems ...

Impact of Model Parameterisation and Variance Component Estimates on Genomic Predictions of Carcass Traits in Montana Composite Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of variance component (VC) estimates, obtained from different models and two relationship matrices, pedigree‐based (BLUP) and genomic information‐based (ssGBLUP), on genomic predictions of carcass traits in Montana composite cattle.

Causal association between circulating leukocyte characteristics and diabetic retinopathy based on two‐sample Mendelian randomization

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
A schematic representation of the two‐sample Mendelian randomization framework used to investigate the causal association between circulating leukocyte traits and diabetic retinopathy. ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Leukocytes are implicated in the inflammatory cascades of diabetic retinopathy (DR), but their causal roles remain ambiguous.

The causal effects of hypothyroidism on cardiovascular disease: Bidirectional and multivariable Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Our study suggests bidirectional causal associations between hypothyroidism and both coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, hypothyroidism contributes to an increased risk of peripheral atherosclerosis (PAS). ABSTRACT Background Whether hypothyroidism and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are causally related remains ...
