Genome-wide association study reveals a QTL and strong candidate genes for umbilical hernia in pigs on SSC14

Abstract Background Umbilical hernia is one of the most prevalent congenital defect in pigs, causing economic losses and substantial animal welfare problems. Identification and implementation of genomic regions controlling umbilical hernia in breeding is of great interest to reduce incidences of her...
