Genome-wide association study identifies genetic variants associated with single-parity reproductive loss in three commercial pig breeds.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundReproductive performance is a critical aspect of livestock production and sustainability. The number of stillbirths (NS) and mummified (NM) piglets significantly affect reproductive efficiency in swine production. Identifying and understanding the genetic architecture and candidate genes influencing these reproductive loss traits are essential for genetic inheritance studies and selective breeding programs in the swine breeding industry. To elucidate the genetic architecture of these traits, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using porcine 70 K BeadChip arrays from 1,162 Duroc, 1,783 Landrace, and 2,366 Yorkshire pigs.
resultSingle-parity breed-specific genome-wide association (GWA) analyses revealed that SIDT2 on Chr9 was associated with NM in Duroc pigs, whereas GTF2H3, PPP1R9A, and LMTK2 on Chr14, 9, and 3, respectively, were associated with both traits in Landrace pigs. Several genes have been linked to NS and NM in Yorkshire pigs, including GRID1 (chr14), DLGAP2 (chr15), ZZEF1 (chr12), RNF17 (chr11), SEL1L2 (chr17), ASCC3 (chr1), KCND2 (chr18), AP5B1(chr2), KAT5 (chr2), and SPATS2 (chr5). Across the breeds, five genes (DLGAP2, RNF17, SEL1L2, AP5B1, and KAT5) were exclusively associated with NS, whereas the other five (SIDT2, NDUFAF5, AKAP12, RCC1L, and BIRC6) were specific to NM. In addition, eight genes (GTF2H3, PPP1R9A, LMTK2, GRID1, ZZEF1, ASCC3, KCND2, and SPATS2) were associated with both traits, suggesting shared molecular pathways involved in piglet mortality.
conclusionsThis study showed genetic factors affecting reproductive performance loss in three commercial Korean pig breeds through first-parity GWA analysis and provided crucial genetic markers that breeders may use in marker-assisted breeding programs aimed at improving reproductive efficiency.
