“…GBP6 was located on chromosome 3 with low QTL densities, but it probably collaborates with the neighboring GBP2 on affecting growth traits of cattle through potential strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) (Figure 5). Ten genes (CYP4A11, GBP2, GPC1, KCNJ12, KLF3, KLF6, LEPR, MAPK10, MICALL2 and MYH3) on five different chromosomes (i.e., 3, 6, 13, 19 and 25) from previous similar CNV studies [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] were used for the comparison of our results (Table 5). These candidate genes were mainly located on chromosome 3 and enriched in the Bos taurus 04920: Adipocytokine signaling pathway (p < 0.05).…”
