Additive and dominance effects of MC4R and PIT1 polymorphisms on production and carcass traits in Duroc pigs

This study aimed to estimate the allelic and genotypic frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MC4R (melanocortin-4- receptor gene) and PIT1 (pituitary specific transcription factor-1) genes, and their additive dominance genetic effects on production and carcass traits in Duroc pigs.
