Variation in the Promoter Region of the <i>MC4R</i> Gene Elucidates the Association of Body Measurement Traits in Hu Sheep.

Of the eight SNPs, after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, seven SNPs (−1131C>T, −1036G>T, −1026G>A, −943G>T, −287G>A, −206G>A, and −103C>G) remained significantly associated with rump length (RL) and rump width (RW) ( p <0.01), five SNPs showed a highly significant association with body weight (BW) and body length (BL) ( p <0.05), three SNPs with lip% ( p <0.05), and other two SNPs (−1036G>T, and −206G>A) were strongly associated with backfat thickness (BFT) ( p <0.05).
