  1. Significance of difference from zero † = P < 0.10; * = P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01
  2. Because of complete linkage disequilibrium between phases among the SNPs LEP-1457, LEP-1609 and LEP-580, only LEP-1457 was retained for the association analysis
  3. BCS: Body Condition Score, SD Units: Standard Deviation units
