  1. *Trait data log-transformed, &absolute content of fatty acids (mg/100 g of skeletal muscle), #relative content of fatty acids (percentage of the respective fatty acid fraction relative to total fatty acid amount)
  2. LTR: likelihood ratio test, p: significancy of allelic effects, Var: variance explained, SE: standard error, aq-value <0.05, bq-value <0.1, **% variance in the model calculated as the relative reduction of the residual variance due to including the SNP in the model [47].
