Single-step GWAS reveals candidate genes associated with longevity traits in Iranian Holstein cattle.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2026. 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
Longevity is a complex, polygenic trait of economic and welfare importance in dairy production. This study aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with longevity traits-herd life (HL), productive life (PL), milking life (ML), and age at first insemination (AFI) in Iranian Holstein cattle using a single-step genome-wide association study (ssGWAS) based on pedigree, deregressed proofs, and genotypes from 150 cows (27,228 SNPs). At FDR < 0.05, 17 genome-wide significant SNPs were identified, three of which surpassed the Bonferroni threshold (p < 1 × 10⁻⁶); these mapped to 12 chromosomes (BTA5-BTA23), with the top windows explaining up to 2.8% of genetic variance. Functional annotation within ± 250 kb windows identified candidate genes including PDE7B, PRDX1, CDKN1B, and HMGA2, involved in cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and energy metabolism. These findings provide exploratory insights into the genetic architecture of longevity in Iranian Holsteins, although validation in larger independent cohorts is required before marker integration into genomic selection.
