Genome-wide association analysis reveals genetic loci and candidate genes associated with intramuscular fat in Duroc pigs [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2017
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a major meat-quality trait in pigs. The content of IMF is directly associated with the taste and flavor of pork. As a complex trait, there could be multiple genes affecting IMF content in pork.

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel loci associated with parathyroid hormone level

Molecular Medicine, 2018
Background Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is one of the principal regulators of calcium homeostasis. Although serum PTH level is mostly accounted by genetic factors, genetic background underlying PTH level is insufficiently known.

Approximate conditional phenotype analysis based on genome wide association summary statistics

Scientific Reports, 2021
Because single genetic variants may have pleiotropic effects, one trait can be a confounder in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) that aims to identify loci associated with another trait.
