Genome-wide association study identifies loci linked to serum electrolyte traits in Chinese Holstein cattle
1College of Animal Science, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, 350002, China.
Abstract:
We aimed to identify QTL for serum electrolyte traits by performing a GWAS of calcium, chloride, sodium, potassium and magnesium ion concentrations in Chinese Holstein cattle. We detected five SNPs that had significant associations with calcium ion concentrations and identified GATA2 from Bos taurus chromosome (BTA)22 as having the highest significance. Among the genes with significant results, we speculate that TMEM123 might be related to calcium channel proteins according to the functions of the TMEM family.
