Genome-wide association study for Kleiber ratio and growth efficiency traits in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep.

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
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a useful method for identification of the genomic regions associated with the studied traits, which could be used in marker-assisted selection. Finding genomic regions and biological pathways for growth efficiency and Kleiber ratio, as important indices of growth rate, may play noticeable roles in genetic improvement of growth performance in meat-type animals. This study was conducted for determination of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with growth efficiency and Kleiber ratio traits in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep, a heavy meat-type sheep. Blood samples of 132 healthy sheep in a research flock were used for DNA extraction. The samples were genotyped using the Illumina ovine 50 K SNP chip. GWAS was done using the Plink software. In the model used for the analysis, birth year-season, sex, birth type and dam age were fitted as the fixed factors. The first 5 principal components were also fitted as covariates to account for possible population stratification. The studied traits had low estimates of genomic heritability. In GWAS, a total of eight SNPs, located on ovine chromosomes 1, 3, 7, 14, 17 and 24 had suggestive significant associations (genome-wide p < [Formula: see text]) with the studied traits. Based on post-GWAS investigations, GCAT, SRP19, APC, EPB41L4A, GPT2, CRYBB3. U6 and 5S rRNA can be considered as candidate genes for growth efficiency traits. The results of this study showed that growth efficiency traits probably cannot be easily improved by selection on estimates of breeding values, but their genetic improvement can be boosted by use of genomic information.
